Feminist Fightback Filmclub presents: Sister Midnight
Join us this January as we start the year with a genre-bending comedy to beat the winter blues.
Sister Midnight (2024, 110mins) by Karan Kandhari is a film about a misanthropic newlywed giving into her feral impulses which lead her to unlikely situations.
Uma travels to Mumbai for a newly arranged marriage. The oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls are awkward and alone-together. Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her total lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbours and her bumbling spouse until the nocturnal world of Mumbai and its inhabitants lead her to face her own strange behaviours. And then things take a surreal turn.
Exhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged.
Drinks and snacks will be available.
