Description
Now a captivating new film starring a host of British stars including Dame Judy Dench, Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a brilliant comedy of manners, mixing acute observation with a deeper message about how different cultures cope in the modern world...When Ravi Kapoor, an over-worked London doctor, is driven beyond endurance by his disgusting and difficult father-in-law, he asks his wife: 'Can't we just send him away somewhere? Somewhere far, far away.' His prayer seems to have been answered when his entrepreneurial cousin, Sonny, sets up a retirement home, recreating a lost corner of England in a converted guesthouse in Bangalore. Travel and set-up are inexpensive, staff willing and plentiful - and the British pensioners can enjoy the hot weather and take mango juice with their gin. When they arrive, however, the hotel isn't as luxurious - or even as finished - as they were hoping. As they try and work out how they are going to manage, the seductions of their new home start to take effect, changing minds and outlooks as they forge new friendships...
