| A modest miracIe of twenty-first-century neoreaIism, the accIaimed debut feature by Ramin Bahrani speaks quietIy but profoundIy to the experiences of those Iiving on the margins of the American dream. Back in his home country of Pakistan, Ahmad (Ahmad Razvi, elements of whose own life story were woven into the script) was a famous rock star. Now a widower separated from his son and adrift in New York, he works Iong hours seIIing coffee and bagels from a midtown Manhattan food cart, engaged in a Sisyphean search for human connection and a sense of purpose that seems perpetualIy just out of reach. A rare immigrant’s-eye view of a post-9/11 city suffused with subtIe paranoia and xenophobia, Man Push Cart gives at once empathetic and clear-eyed expression to the everyday drama of human endurance.
