Movie #921 "Arranged" --- I really enjoyed this movie a bunch! It really helped that it concerned very young teachers, just trying to keep afloat, thrown into a very diverse school with an orthodox jew next door to a Muslim. At first, you think oil and water --- even the kids question, "Hey, aren't you supposed to hate each other?" And yeah, at first, it is very awkward, but eventually they discover they have a lot in common --- esp. arranged marriages their folks are planning! And they want to have a big say in the "arranging" --- the title becomes ironic by the end of the film. The two women are very good (I have seen the woman playing Rochel on the t.v. show "Whitney" last year --- and she plays a totally different person here --- hardly recognized her), and the story and its conflict were intriguing to me. I recommend it (it's in English). Oh, did I also say that there's lot of humor in the film, as well?
Arranged
Though others expect friction when Orthodox Jew Rochel and Muslim Nasira meet as teachers at a Brooklyn school, the women discover common ground.
