My Beautiful Laundrette
MBM Rating:
HOT ALERT: Daniel Day Lewis, Gordon Warnecke

My Beautiful Laundrette is a highly acclaimed and beautifully rendered portrait of two boyhood friends struggling to survive in racially tense Thatcher-era Britain.

I've seen few films with such intensity, humour and heartache all rolled into one. The scenes flowed onto each other seamlessly, the plot complex yet perfectly led, and the Acting was just superb.

Daniel Day Lewis was unforgettable as the rough street punk Johnny, while Gordon Warnecke was equally engaging as Omar, the Pakistani boy with big ambitions. Another stand-out was Roshan Seth, playing a drunken disgruntled Pakistani father, with no hope, no future, and little life left in his alcohol weakened body.

At times, it is heartbreaking to watch the hatred and misunderstanding between two races living on the same land. But what do two boys with a beautiful laundrette care anyway, for them, each day is a brand new day.
