MY SON THE FANATIC World Cinema

Parvez, a taxi driver in Britain, can’t break
out of his working class status and afford
a better life for his wife, Minoa and son,
Farid. Working into the night to earn his
keep, Parvez endures condescension from
people like Schultz, a private client he
chauffeurs around town and matches up
with local prostitute Bettina, to whom
Parvez acts as part-father, part-pimp.
But when Farid breaks off his engagement
with an Anglo-Saxon woman in protest to
racial integration and becomes an Islamic
fundamentalist, Parvez finds himself
hosting a radical religious zealot in his
home and losing both son and wife to
intolerant Middle Eastern beliefs.
