Product Information

A bittersweet comedy drama about the unlikely friendship that develops between an out-of-work political journalist (Steve Coogan) and an elderly lady (Dame Judi Dench) who asks him to help her find her long-lost son. Based on the best-selling book THESE FOOLISH THINGS by Deborah Moggach, THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL stars an impressive roster of British acting treasures as a group of retirees who head to Bangalore after being enticed by the exotic promises of the Marigold Hotel. Once there, however, the realities of the rundown establishment are far from luxurious. Wartime entertainment takes a new turn when Mrs Henderson decides to offer an all naked female dance troupe to bring some cheer in times of trouble.

ReviewsNew York Observer - ItÆs profoundly moving and thoroughly mind provoking, but despite the poignant subject matter, I promise you will not leave Philomena depressed. IÆve seen it twice and felt exhilarated, informed, enriched, absorbed and optimistic both times.
