About
My Beautiful Laundrette

At first sight, it seems dated and bad, but I feel there is just so much to this. The story is subtle and straightforward, but the way it's executed makes it a great film. It definitely belongs on 80s canon. And the performances are very very good, with obvious emphasis on a young Daniel Day Lewis. I feel that context of its production is necessary to 'get' this film so if you see it, please read about the making of.
