MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (1985) - ♦♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Stephen Frears

Written by - Hanif Kureishi

Starring - Saeed Jaffrey, Roshan Seth, Daniel Day Lewis

"Jonny, a working class fascist who likes to bash the heads of immigrants meets Omar, a childhood Pakistani friend. The two develop a love affair and run a launderette. Arguably the best film by Stephen Frears, whose unlikely tale of romance is perfectly representational of a rebellious and charismatic style in vogue at the time in which it was released. My Beautiful Launderette brims with creativity and charisma, aided by some great performances, including a notable early Daniel Day-Lewis one as a Billy Idol like punk who is as romantic as he is rebellious – much like the film itself."
