Sammy e Rosie vanno a letto (1987)
Sammy, oriundo indiano, vive a Londra insieme con Rosie. La loro casa, un porto di mare aperto a tutti, si trova in un quartiere dove si manifesta spesso il malcontento degli immigrati. La situazione di coppia dei due è disastrosa. L'arrivo del padre di Sammy, ex uomo politico inseguito da alcuni fuoriusciti con intenzioni vendicative, non fa che complicare gli eventi, fino a una conclusione in cui dramma e speranza sembrano intrecciarsi. Frears e lo scritoore-sceneggiatore Hanif Kureishi danno (dopo "My beautiful laundrette") un altro ritratto marginale e colorato della cupa Londra thathcheriana. Divertente e cattivo.
