It was a fantastic novel by Mohsin Hamid depicting the struggles in communication between east and west post 9/11. It won many prizes when it was published in 2006. Now Mira Nair has made this into ta movie and I am intrigued to see what she comes up with.
It was made the opening movie of the Venice Film Festival and then won Golden Lion award for best picture. Stars a british pakistani called Riz Ahmed and famous hollywood actors Kate Hudson and Liev Schreiber
Could not find a trailer online but Mira nair said some really good things about Pakistan.
Need to read the book first...by the ratings on imdb, this movie sucks compared to the book. So yeah, definitely the book first before i'll give this a watch.
OK so I just finished the book today and don't get what all the fuss is about. What's so great about it? It's fully loaded with BS...The only thing i liked about it was the style in which it was written.
