2015/16 Season
THE LUNCHBOX
India 2013 (PG) 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.
