Touch of Pink is a 2004 Canadian-British gay-themed romantic comedy film written and directed by Ian Iqbal Rashid and starring Jimi Mistry and Kyle MacLachlan. The film takes its title from the Cary Grant film That Touch of Mink.

Plot

Alim is a young gay man. Born in Kenya and raised in Toronto, he moved to London to get away from his conservative upbringing. He faces the hardships of coming out to his widowed mother Nuru, as well as hardships in his relationship with his boyfriend Giles. Alim has an imaginary friend (or maybe a guardian angel or ghost friend, depending on how literally or symbolically one takes the film) who is supposedly Cary Grant, who gives Alim advice when he is in trouble. Unfortunately, the advice often seems to make more trouble.

Cast

Reception

Touch of Pink premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival to great acclaim,[2] a bidding war, and eventually, a sale to Sony Pictures Classics.

The film received mixed reviews in its theatrical release; the consensus states: "Kyle MacLachlan does a very good imitation Cary Grant in this forced and contrived tale."[3]

The film grossed $564,535 domestically and $16,520 internationally for a worldwide total of $581,055.[1]
