Women Aren't Funny: Appropriate Behaviour + Q&A

  • The Garden Cinema Parker Street London, England, WC2B 5PQ United Kingdom (map)

Screening in partnership with The Garden Cinema as part of their WOMEN AREN’T FUNNY SEASON.

The screening on Sunday 7 July will be followed by a live or recorded Zoom Q&A with director Desiree Akhavan.

For Shirin (Desiree Akhavan), being part of a perfect family isn’t easy. Acceptance eludes her from all sides: her family doesn’t know she’s bisexual, and her ex-girlfriend, Maxine (Rebecca Henderson), can’t understand why she doesn’t tell them. Following a family announcement of her brother’s betrothal to a parentally approved Iranian prize catch, Shirin embarks on a private rebellion involving a series of escapades, while trying to decipher what went wrong with Maxine.

From writer/director/actress Desiree Akhavan comes an ironic, Iranian, hipster date movie; Appropriate Behaviour is an achingly cool, post-feminist comedy about what happens when a girl comes out and discovers that extraordinary is the new ordinary.

Please arrive promptly - The Garden Cinema does not show adverts

All screenings will be shown with English subtitles (not HOH).
