Monday night we watched My
Beautiful Laundrette. For some reason, the fact that the
NetFlix description of it mentions it being set in "Thatcher-era
Britain" had led me to think that it was a recent film that's set in
the eighties, when in fact it was actually made in Thatcher-era
Britain.
Anyway, it was good. A bit meandering, perhaps, but all of the
characters' stories are compelling. I liked the way that, although
it's mostly focused on Omar, it also shows us glimpses into the lives
and motivations of many of the different people around him. I also
liked the way that Omar and Johnny's relationship is not really
central to the plot.
