My Beautiful Laundrette (40th anniversary screening) + introduction from Pratibha Parmar
Stephen Frears, UK , 98:00, English & Urdu
Omar, a young British Pakistani man, takes over the running of a dilapidated laundrette with former flame Johnny. Crackling with wit and warmth in the face of racial tensions and homophobia, it remains one of the most celebrated takedowns of Thatcher’s Britain. Do not miss this cult classic on the big screen.
