My Beautiful Laundrette - Lavanderia a gettone (1985)
Omar è un giovane pakistano a cui lo zio affida la gestione di una lavanderia abbandonata nella periferia londinese. Omar la rimette in sesto aiutato da Johnny (Daniel Day Lewis), un giovane sbandato a cui lo lega una relazione omosessuale. Integrazione razziale, omosessualità, traffico di droga: argomenti scottanti che Frears affronta con approccio realistico, quasi documentario, ma anche con un senso dello humour capace di ammorbidire il quadro davvero desolato della società inglese che ne esce. Realizzato a 16 mm per la Tv, è uno dei migliori risultati del cinema inglese anni Ottanta.
Direttore: Stephen Frears
