Plot
Summary: Hideous Kinky is set in a time
about 30 years ago when it was not uncommon for young
British free-thinkers to cross into the next continent
with virtually nothing in their pockets. They left
their proper schooling and part-time jobs behind to
make their trek into a poor, desert country in Africa
in search of themselves and their spirituality. And
so this story begins with a young English hippie woman
who has brought her two young daughters with her on
her journey. Though the book is narrated by the youngest
of the two daughters, it is not yet clear that this
is so in the screenplay version of Hideous Kinky.
Comments:
Delightful
surprise! I never understand what other people look
for in films so I never quite understand negative
reviews of quality movies. To me, I just love it when
a story comes at me out of nowhere, like it does in
Hideous Kinky, and dishes up characters I have to
work at to understand. I also love photography, especially
when someone goes to obvious great lengths to put
together breathtaking scenes. Kate Winslet is stunning
to watch, as always, and her character is artfully
portrayed with both painful honesty and dignity. The
two little girls, played by Bella Riza and Carrie
Mullan, absolutely stole every scene they were in
and the movie is probably worth watching just for
the two of them being in it. Hideous Kinky is a great
example of what good storytelling is all about and
I give the director, Gillies MacKinnon, a perfect
"10" for the effort.
