Film Movement has tabbed
Nov. 11 for the DVD debut of writer/director Iram Haq’s I Am Yours.
Mina (Amrita Acharia,
perhaps best know to American audiences as Irri from the Game of Thrones
television series … also as Reidun in Well Go USA’s upcoming DVD and Blu-ray
debut of Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead) is by any standard an attractive young
woman.
But, as things in her life have transpired,
she finds herself with two strikes against her (and she’s not even 30 yet) …
she’s a single mom with a six-year old son and she’s an ethnic Pakistani living
in Oslo, Norway.
She’d like to distance
herself from the “traditional” ways that her parents would impose upon her, but
those efforts — which are, quite frankly, too far in the other direction — have
simply led to a whole series of bad decisions.
How do you win; how do you have a life that is fulfilling when you don’t
fit in and efforts made to do so only make it worse?
I Am Yours is certainly worth a look … critics have been
kind, the film festival circuit has been rewarding and with the film now being
made available to the domestic home entertainment market it could attract the
following that it deserves.
Presented
in Norwegian (with some Urdu and Swedish) with English subtitles.
