Race, Poverty and Same-Sex Love
“My Beautiful Laundrette” stars Daniel Day-Lewis as Johnny, a homeless South London cockney street punk.<br /> Pakistani student Omar (Gordon Warnecke) convinces his wealthy uncle to let him take over and manage one of his money-losing enterprises, a laundry in a rough neighborhood. Omar elicits the help of former school pal Johnny, and as their plans for the business take shape, they fall in love. <br /><br /> Director Stephen Frears doesn’t treat this relationship as a big deal. Instead, he sets it against a background of racial divisiveness and economic desolation. Frears takes a disturbing look at the lives of Pakistanis in 1980s Great Britain. There are racial tensions between the Pakistanis themselves, such as those that divide Omar and his relatives, as well as tensions between the lower-class natives and the Pakistani immigrants.<br /><br />From time to time Frears lightens the tone with humor. One of the picture’s most amusing characters, Uncle Nasser (Saeed Jeffrey), is a collection of inconsistencies. Uncle Nasser is a successful businessman and a small-time racketeer who prides himself on being the patriarch of a large clan but nonetheless keeps an English mistress. Even as he flaunts his heritage, he has no compunction against evicting a fellow immigrant from an apartment if the rent is late. Mr. Jeffrey knows when the script offers opportunities for some fun and takes full advantage without undermining the film’s themes.<br /><br />Day-Lewis (“Lincoln,” “Gangs of New York”) is an amazing actor who slips chameleon-like into his roles, with little resemblance between roles or performances. He’s outstanding here as the alienated product of poverty, joblessness, and racial animosity.<br /><br /> Bonus features on the newly restored digital Blu-ray release include a new conversation between director Stephen Frears and producer Colin MacCabe; new interviews with writer Hanif Kureishi and the producers; theatrical trailer; and a critical essay.
