Joyland, dir. Saim Sadiq, Pakistan 2022, 126 min., Urdu with English subtitles, 15
As the happily patriarchal Rana family craves for the birth of a baby boy, the youngest of the Rana men secretly joins an erotic dance theatre and finds himself falling for a fiercely ambitious trans starlet. Their impossible love story slowly illuminates the entire Rana family’s desire for a sexual rebellion.
Sam Sadiq’s debut feature film, two-time winner at the Cannes Film Festival (Un Certain Regard Jury Prize, Queer Palm), is a sensitive tale on friendship, love and sexual desire in ultra conservative Pakistan.
