THE LUNCHBOX

India 2013 (PG)
105 minutes

Directed by Ritesh Batra

Ipswich Film Theatre - 14 December 2015 - 7.30pm

A mistaken delivery by Mumbai’s lunchbox courier service leads to an unconventional long-distance romance between a widower nearing retirement and an unfulfilled housewife. A poignant tale that extols the virtues of paper correspondence in an era of text messaging!

AUDIENCE COMMENTS: I didn’t think one could be so moved by a lunchbox’s journey. A delight; What a brave ending! Excellent atmosphere; Really want one of Ila’s curries; The opposite of a whirlwind romance; A sad little tale. Rather slow to get going but nicely shot and characters well developed and portrayed. Sad, because inconclusive.
