KAOS: My Beautiful Laundrette

Film
Skool

You Have Been Watching Films looks at a landmark example of British gay cinema, Stephen Frears' adaptation of Hanif Kureishi's classic My Beautiful Laundrette. A nuance, tender, intimate, and provocative film, My Beautiful Laundrette glimpses into the discretion of queer love under Thatcherism, a conservatism which also fuelled the fires of racial tension and class wealth disparity. A fascinating drama and an enduring romance, My Beautiful Laundrette continues to stir hearts to this day.
