My Beautiful Laundrette
(1985)
Directed by Stephen
Frears this film stars Gordon Warnecke, Daniel Day-Lewis, Saeed
Jaffrey and Roshan Seth. In Thatcher era London a young Pakistani
seeks to find his place in the world with the help of his family and
a homeless friend from school.
I found this to be a
pretty interesting look at the life of second generation immigrants
in England and their relationship with their parents. The film also
explores homosexuality but not in as much depth as it does with the
issues of immigration. All the performances are good but the quality
of the film stock used is not great really.
4/5
