Omar, a homosexual Pakistani boy living in London with his alcoholic father, lifts a chunk of drug money from another Pakistani and, with his school chum Johnny, decides to renovate a grungy laundrette. Featuring seething dialogue and visually stunning camera work, the film explores the world of modern Pakistanis trapped between two cultures in Thatcher's Britain and their white working class counterparts with no future in their own country.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Directed by renowned English filmmaker Stephen Frears (DIRTY PRETTY THINGS), written by Hanif Kureishi and featuring a star-making performance from a then-virtually unknown Daniel Day-Lewis, MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE stands as one of the best British films of the 1980s.

Well worth revisiting as a piece of film history
I remember this film when it was first released...was regarded as iconic. I had forgotten most of it so this dvd was a walk down memory lane for me. It remains engaging and entertaining though I don't think it contains lots of laughs, so wouldn't describe it as a comedy. Although it touches on many of the topics of its day it seems a little dated now. A distinguished cast of actors who are now famous.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
