My Beautiful Laundrette

In Stephen Frears groundbreaking and hugely successful drama, Omar (Gordon Warnecke), the son of a Pakistani immigrant, embarks on a venture to renovate his uncle's laundrette with the help of his childhood friend, ex-National Front member Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis). Written by Hanif Kureishi, My Beautiful Laundrette's bold exploration of sexuality, race, class and generational difference is compassionate, humorous and entertaining. (British Film Institute (BFI))
