About the Film
It is truly rare to encounter a film that is both intimately personal and socially resonant. Something Like an Autobiography is all this, and more.
The film tells the story of Farhan and Tithi, a celebrity couple who have been happily married for a decade, played by Bangladesh’s real-life film power couple, director Mostofa Sarwar Farooki and actress Nusrat Imrose Tisha. During the Covid lockdown, the couple co-wrote the script based on their own experiences. Farooki also appears on screen for the first time as the male lead.
Their peaceful life is disrupted when societal pressure mounts over their choice to remain childless. Unexpectedly, Tithi becomes pregnant, while new conflicts arise when a neighbor’s loud disturbances lead Farhan into a dangerous confrontation with a powerful oligarch. The film explores the personal, the political, and the social, weaving intimate family drama with broader commentary on society and power dynamics.
The film has been widely praised at international film festivals, including Busan (Korea), Mumbai (India), and Sydney (Australia). Its Thailand premiere is particularly special, as the opening scene was shot in Pattaya, and Farooki has expressed that Thailand feels like a “second home” to him. Therefore, despite his busy schedule, Director Mostofa Sarwar Farooki and his actress-wife Nusrat Imrose Tisha will attend the film-screening, and present their film.
What the Press said
Variety: “The film seamlessly blends the personal and the political, and melds romantic comedy and social drama.”
