The World Unseen

The World Unseen is an outstanding movie about the topic of apartheid in the last 20 years of 1900 placed in south Africa. The interpretation of the actors and actresses is perfect, In particular Lisa Ray is perfect in playing the role of ingenuous wife submitted to the husband's rules. Even Sheetal Sheth in her character is very heart-warming. The story is exciting and rich of twists and involves the spectator make him aware of the pain of character. I suggest to the movie to everyone interested in this kind of plots especially to whom is interesting in lgbt movies. There is also the book of this movie that is amazing as well.

I just saw this film at the London Film Festival. It sold out in two days and they are putting an extra screening!

This film tell the touching journey of one woman trying to find the courage to be herself in an oppressive (but not overly so) marriage with a bit of help from another, wildly independent and free-spirited woman. The background is 1950s South Africa and its despicable apartheid policy. Throughout the film are stark reminders of what that meant for blacks, whites and the Indian community.

No clichés here, just wonderful brush-strokes forming a charming and riveting film.

I juts love this two together. Great movie, nice storyline.

Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth's first film collaboration before 2008's "I can't think straight", "The World Unseen" is a film of many themes: Of oppressive marriages, institutions and of the oppression of the heart.

Lisa Ray is a trapped wife in this one, Miriam. She has the acquaintance of meeting Amina (Sheetal Sheth), a free spirit of sorts. They will become friends and cherish each other's presence in their lives.

The interpretations of the two actresses is overall great and they really get the Indian accent on point.

The film was film in South Africa and the sets as well as the 1950's setting is very pretty indeed.

This is a solid and interesting film, albeit its overall slow paced pacing and plot elements. It's an easy flick and short film to watch and pass the day with.

Before I Can't Think Straight, there was this film. Both were written and directed by Shamim Sarif, and starred Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth - a combination that assures excellence.

In a background of oppression in South Africa in 1952, we view a struggle for personal freedom.

Amina (Sheth) wants to be free to live her life as a lesbian without bigotry. Miriam (Ray) wants to be free of a demanding and philandering husband. Jacon (David Dennis), a half-black wants to love a white woman (Grethe Fox).

We can only assume that it works out for two of the three characters, and that will have to satisfy us.
