Gurinder Chadha: on pleasing the crowd, filming optimism and comedy

Posted on the July 30th, 2008

As of yesterday, the guardian.co.uk website has a new video series  titled “In The Director’s Chair” and the first interviewee is Gurinder Chadha. The director of the popular “Bend It Like Beckham” talks about her own career path, what she tries to achieve in her work, and why she chooses to make commercial films.

Chadha’s new film is a comedy, “Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.” And as in “Beckham,” the story  focuses on the world of teenage girls.
