Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011 Lasse Hallström)

Written by Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) from a novel by Paul Torday* as a kind of Ealing film where a madcap idea overcomes bureaucracy and finds life. Kristen Scott Thomas is great fun as a cut-throat ministerial character who even swears at her children. Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt are the couple who grow together (here use of 'Miss Chetwode-Talbot' is very funny) and Amr Waked is the enlightened Sheik who likes fishing.

Shot by Terry Stacey in Panavision and scored by Dario Marianelli.

It's most enjoyable.

I didn't notice their clothes became gradually more syncopated (according to my co-watcher).
Must look out for that next time.

Torday was 60 when he published this, his first novel, which was a huge success. He wrote several more before prematurely dying aged 67. His 'Girl on the Landing' was acquired by Julian Fellowes and IMDB shows it as 'in development'.
