Mitu Misra had never been on a film set before – so how did he persuade two A-listers to star in the British-Asian drama he wrote and directed?
‘You see that dormer window up there?” says Mitu Misra as we stand in an alley behind some shops in Bradford. “When I was a lad I used to climb out of that window late at night.” After he had climbed out of the second-floor window, little Mitu would shin down a drainpipe, jump on to a toilet roof and then hit the ground running to the nearby cinema.
“At school, I was beaten up regularly and called ‘Paki’. Growing up, most of my friends were Pakistani immigrants. We were all quite poor. Cinema, be it Bollywood or Hollywood, was my way out.”...

Gabriel Byrne and Harvey Keitel lend a light sheen of heavyweight credibility to Lies We Tell, the debut feature by Anglo-Indian businessman turned indie filmmaker Mitu Misra. Set and shot in the northern English city of Bradford, this culture-clash thriller may be timely and heartfelt, but not even a solid team of well-credentialed talents both on-screen and off can salvage its cliché-sodden storyline and woefully flat direction. Scheduled for limited theatrical release in both the U.S. and U.K. from Friday, Misra’s passionless passion project already feels dead in the water.
At least Byrne gives a reliably craggy, soulfully disheveled performance...
