Torn between two roles
19 March 2009
Yasmin.
Yasmin Husseini is a young woman of Pakistani background living in a small Scottish town together with her arranged husband Faysal. Yasmin has to live in 2 worlds in order to meet her father's and her own expectations; she is torn between her 2 roles of a western and a traditional Muslim woman and when the incident of 9/11 takes place, she seems to crash and finally has to make a decision
The director manages very well to depict the situation of British thinking women growing up in a whole Muslim surrounding. Especially the problems Yasmin has to cope with after 9/11 are very lucidly brought to screen. Also the audience gets very close to the protagonist and is able to really feel with Yasmin. As a gist, the movie is worth seeing.
