PREVIEW: Meet The Patels

Meet the Patels will premiere tomorrow at the State Theater! Siblings Ravi and Geeta Patel co-directed the film, which mixes the genres of comedy, romance, and documentary. The film highlights the cultural differences between traditional Indian and contemporary American societies; I’m fascinated by culture, anthropology, and cultural differences more generally so I’m excited to view this film!

Tom Long of the Detroit News: “It’s a delight of a film, but it also examines problems of assimilation, culture clash, modern romance and the value (or prison) of tradition. Which is quite a bit of stuff for a movie that’s just plain fun to watch.”
