[lbo-talk] Home for the Holidays

[C. G. Estabrook]

Sounds good.  One of the most remarkable films I've seen in a while has a
Thanksgiving setting -- "What's Cooking," by Gurinder Chadha, who made it
before she directed "Bend it Like Beckham." From an interview by by
Cynthia Fuchs:  "Born in Kenya, she began her career as a news reporter
with BBC Radio, and directed short documentaries for the BBC. In 1990, she
established her own production company, Umbi Films, and made her first
feature, Bhaji on the Beach, in 1993. She directed What's Cooking in 2000,
about four Los Angeles families on Thanksgiving" -- strikingly American,
multicultural, and international. --CGE
