Boy howdy but Stephen King is an amazing storyteller.

A multilayered film about a family caught in a dance between duty and desire. Worth your time. Playing now @TIFF_NET #joyland

#Joyland, rotunda y sensible, reflexiona sobre la libertad del ser humano de vivir la vida de la manera que le parezca más adecuada, y muestra con cariño y buen gusto la vida diaria en un Pakistán más allá de los estereotipos. Ya en cines.

Wonderful news. Saim Sadiq's #Joyland - the Pakistani film that has been making waves worldwide since its premiere and wins at Cannes last year - is being released by PVR in Indian theatres on March 10. 💃💃💃

#乐土 #Joyland ★★★★
丈夫性认同错位那晚回去，妻子也心死在家。一个想坦白自己挣脱宿命的出柜，一个先说出有了儿子的宿命尘埃落定。这个在传统规则里大喜的时刻，只有类似耶稣/圣母，性别不明，情绪不明的妻子，搂着哭得像受伤孩子的丈夫，哀悼彼此内在的真实自我之死。

This was maybe one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time.

Bijzondere film, terechte inzending voor de Oscars #joyland #movie

Love blossoms between a man and a trans woman, amid familial and societal conventions in #Joyland, Pakistan’s short-listed entry to the 95th #Oscars for best International feature film -

In cinemas February 24, 2023.

While the 'real' Hindu argue whether about whether bikinis can be the colour saffron here is a Pakistani film that I hope is released in India to make them madder. The rest can watch. You'll come out of the theatre, stand still and just breathe a few seconds. It is incredible.

An intriguing episode of the Cultural Frontline on #BBCWorldService: #Joyland - how a banned film became #Pakistan's entry for the #Oscars

Saw #joyland yesterday it’s a very very unique story of a married man falling for a trans woman and the struggle they face in determining who is the actual top…all set against gorgeous locales of old #lahore and heavenly frames of battered life. I’m just like wow did we make this

Pakistan banned award-winning film #Joyland, a love story with a cisgender man and a trans woman, for "highly objectionable material."

It's the country's official Oscar entry and was approved by censor boards in August.

At least 20 trans people were killed in Pakistan in 2021.

Also a desi film with a trans actor playing a trans character unlike in Bollywood where much noise is being made about Sushmita Sen playing a Marathi transwoman. 😶

Good cinema is good cinema. #Joyland should get to the Oscars.🤞🏾
Here's the trailer

This is terrible. #Joyland is an amazing film. It reflects the subcontinent like none other in recent times. I watched it @nzff@twitter.com this year in Tamaki. A few days later a young Indian filmmaker from Poneke texted me to say he'd just come from out from a screening. That's all.

Just heard terrible news - #Pakistan’s Oscar entry #Joyland has been banned in that country. Terrible news since this remarkable film should be seen in Pakistan. Also if the film doesn’t play in Pakistan can it still qualify as a submission for the Best International Film Oscar?
