Plot: The owner of an apartheid-era Cape Town café experiences an attraction that threatens to change her life forever in director Shamim Sarif's look into a South Asian community in a divided South Africa. Amina (Sheetal Sheth) is the rebellious proprietor of the popular Location Café -- a destination spot for adventurous social outlaws who resent having their lives dictated by racist laws. From the black waitress who doesn't realize her place in South African society to the older white woman who makes eyes at the handsome brown-skinned bachelor, these people like to have a little fun, and they know that they can just be themselves in the Location Café. When the apartheid police come knocking and Amina's conservative Indian neighbors cast an accusing eye, the emboldened café owner always stands up for her rights. Yet, despite her defiant exterior, Amina instantly turns soft when she meets the gaze of the beautiful Miriam (Lisa Ray). Despite the fact that Miriam is a married woman, she is endlessly fascinated by the free-thinking Amina. Eventually, Amina works up the courage to invite Miriam along for driving lessons, and both women succumb to the true power of their mutual attraction. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Can't Think Straight/World Unseen
Added 10/26/2009

Wonderful movies, wonderful soundtrack, amazing audio visual experience overall. Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth have amazing chemistry together and great material to work with. I give the World Unseen an edge over I Can't Think Straight both for visuals and content, which may not be fair considering that they are two completely different movies. Don't assume that one is the sequel to the other or that they are related in any way aside from having the same writer and main pair of Ray and Sheth or you'll be in for an interesting surprise. I loved both of these movies, as well as the soundtrack, and would definitely recommend purchasing them.

Great love stories!

Both movies are great. I liked them both, although I enjoyed a little bit more I can't think straight. I have always been curious as to how other cultures and religions see female homosexuality. I got an idea with this movie in particular, although I think it is still an Occidental approach to the subject. I guess both women would come to terms with their homosexuality in a different way if they had been living in the far east.

I loved the script, the photography, and the directing. Their acting is superb and the music is well chosen, couldn't have been better. I watched it 3 times already, and could easily watch it a couple of more times. The actresses are a delight to the eyes, they are both charismatic and gorgeous. It's one of my top 10 lesbian movies.

The World Unseen is also a delight to watch. Specially for those of you who like movies of other time periods. The subjec is well handled and portrayed. It's also worth watching. You won't regret it.

good story line...the characters decisions are a little frustrating @ times from a lesbians perspective but not as predictable as all the other lesbian movies...

Can't Think Straight + World Unseen
Added 10/6/2009

I can't think Straight was a refreshing take on the typical lesbian romance. Note I said lesbian romance, not porno flick. It's tasteful and romantic all at the same time, and the acting is beautiful. The World Unseen is good as well, though the pace is a bit more relaxed.

I loved them both! Definitely worth the money!

Positive lesbian movies

Don't be confused by the box set, these are two different films that are beautifully directed. I bought this box set just a few days ago and immediately felt in love with it. This box set will left you wanting for more.
