Polite Society director Nida Manzoor on her Matrix-inspired action comedy | BFI Q&A

Nida Manzoor visited BFI Southbank to talk about her hilarious and exhilarating action comedy as part of the BFI's Art of Action season.

Sixteen-year-old Ria, an aspiring stuntwoman, is alarmed when her sister Lena is swept up by a charming suitor and heads toward marriage at speed. Can Ria use her martial arts training to stop the wedding and rescue Lena? Nida Manzoor’s wonderfully fresh and funny feature directorial debut is a fast-paced Austen-esque comedy packed with smashing action.
