TOUCH OF PINK celebrates classic gay romantic-comedy territory. Alim, a Muslim photographer, is about to have his cosmopolitan life in London with his boyfriend upended. A family wedding is announced, and Mummy is coming to visit. As he desperately tries to de-gay his life and hold on to his boyfriend, Alims only guide is his imaginary friend, Cary Grant (Kyle MacLachlan). Dashing and debonair, Grant fits very well in Alims closet as friend, philosopher, and style guide, though his relationship advice is a little suspect.
Alims Mummy lives in a world where mothers want grandchildren and perfect weddings. And, this one will be a drag queens delight, with her tart one-liners and melodramatic laments.
As with most wedding films, nothing goes as expected, yet everyone gets what they need (or deserve). With digs at race, colonization, and the eternal brown-person question (Where are you from? No, I mean originally?), TOUCH OF PINK is about the many identities we juggle each day, not always successfully.
In this year of the gay wedding, this is the film to see to plan your nuptials pheasant samosas, anyone? After the film, come celebrate the joys of marriage and cinema at San Franciscos historic City Hall.
