Today – Thu 07 Aug

Why watch?

That we now have a newly laundered 40th Anniversary restoration of this groundbreaking, successful, iconic and career-making film is both welcoming and timely given the, ahh… current state of British society. The film’s narrative themes and concerns are still something our country seems to be unable to discuss with caring, understanding, humour and intelligence, whilst it instead lets division run rampant.

A swooning interracial romance unfolds amid the turbulence of life in Thatcher’s Britain.
Drama • British • Critically Acclaimed
Part of Cinema Rediscovered on Tour

In a seedy corner of London, Omar (Gordon Warnecke), a young Pakistani man, is given a run-down laundromat by his uncle (Saeed Jaffrey), and hopes to turn it into a successful business. Soon after, Omar is attacked by a group of racist punks, but defuses the situation when he realises their leader is his former lover, Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis). The men resume their relationship and rehabilitate the laundromat together, but various social forces threaten to compromise their success.

The first screening on Fri 01 Aug at 15:30 will be shown with a pre-recorded introduction by actor Gordon Warnecke (Omar) and director Stephen Frears.
