Ae Fond Kiss

Partly conceived as a response to the changing attitudes towards Muslims in the wake of 9/11, Loach's social-realist drama features a romance between second-generation Glaswegian-Pakistani, Casim, and Irish-Catholic teacher, Roisin. The couple come under intense pressure to split up, and the film explores possibilities for forging relationships that cross barriers of cultural and ethnic identity.

A gripping, hilarious and moving film.
