Face/Off#Plot should answer many of your questions. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:27, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To me, the really difficult thing to understand is how merely transferring the skin from the face of person A to person B would make person B look like what person A used to look like. Bone and muscle structure would also have to be transplanted. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:13, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

French films regarding Arabs

Is there any film regarding Arabs in French produced in France like 100% Arabica and Beur Blanc Rouge? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.228.180 (talk) 01:50, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The only ones I can find are Lila dit ça (2004), Adieu Gary (2008), and if you're including documentaries Nous, princesses de Clèves (2011). --Antiquary (talk) 10:00, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can recommend Le Thé au harem d'Archimède too, as well as La Haine, though that one is more about young second-generation immigrants in general, not just Arabs. ---Sluzzelin talk 12:32, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe The Battle of Algiers was shot in French Algeria, if that counts? Comet Tuttle (talk) 18:02, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't ask for this at all, but I just happened upon the article for Reel Bad Arabs and thought I'd mention it; it might point to other films of interest to you. Comet Tuttle (talk) 23:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

films in Britain about immigrants

Is there any films regarding immigrants especially desis besides Bend It Like Beckham and East is East and West is West? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.228.180 (talk) 01:53, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I was going to suggest The Buddha of Suburbia , but apparently it was only a TV series in the UK. However, it did come from a book which is worth reading if you can't track down the episodes. --TammyMoet (talk) 08:31, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bollywood Queen? ---Sluzzelin talk 08:48, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just remembered My Beautiful Launderette. --TammyMoet (talk) 09:28, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also A Private Enterprise (1974), Sammy and Rosie Get Laid (1987), Bhaji on the Beach (1993), Brothers in Trouble (1995), My Son the Fanatic (1997), Love + Hate (2005), and Four Lions (2010). --Antiquary (talk) 09:35, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know desi meant someone from the Indian subcontinent so thanks for that new word. Anyway, it's not about desis but I recommend To Sir, with Love, one of the best films about the immigrant experience I've ever seen. --Viennese Waltz 07:37, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Try A Kestrel for a Knave by Barry Hines. Great coming-of-age story. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner by Alan Sillitoe is great, too. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 00:59, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
