In this shortcast edition of the Podcast for Social Research, recorded live at BISR Central, BISR's Rebecca Ariel Porte and Isi Litke discuss Stephen Frears's 1985 classic of queer cinema, My Beautiful Laundrette. Conversation ranges over the film's Thatcherite backdrop; its depiction of queer, and cross-racial, love; and its inimitable mix of gritty social realism and dreamlike sensuality. What's unique, in the queer cinematic canon, about a film made just before the AIDS crisis emerged in British public consciousness—that is, just prior to the inceasing identification of queerness with disease? How does it weave elements of the fairy tale into its story of cross-class, cross-racial love? And how does the film, with its "qualified utopian hope," contrast with later, more pessimistic classics of the New Queer Cinema? Why, in a film set in a laundromat, is it a source of optimism that some things don't stay clean? 

On the two hundred and fortieth episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST the crew has multiple personalities.Christian and Jericho get in front of the mics to talk about a multi-decade selection of Stephen Frears films for an episode we're calling Face Your Frears. For our first review we dig into a coming of age queer laundromat movie MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE. We also check out a horror romance retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide, MARY REILLY. Finally, we talk about a genre hopping crime film, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS. We also discuss hearts in toilets, Joe Pesci, and frosted tips.Keep in touch with us on Instagram and email us anytime at: TheThirdActPodcast@gmail.com

The writer Hanif Kureishi - who is our second Christmas guest editor this year - had a life changing accident which paralysed him on Boxing Day 2022. He uses his programme to explore his adjustment to becoming disabled, including its impact on his family and his friendships. Hanif first enjoyed professional success as a writer 1985 with My Beautiful Laundrette, which was Oscar nominated, and he later wrote the novel the Buddha of Suburbia - which became a BBC series - and My Son The Fanatic. In his programme, he speaks about how he has developed with his son Carlo a new way of producing and publishing his work. He also has a long conversation with Today presenter Mishal Husain just before he returns home from hospital.

On this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, cinematographer Oliver Stapleton (THE CIDER HOUSE RULES, THE GRIFTERS, MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE) joins us in conversation. In addition to his career as a cinematographer, Oliver is also the Co-Head of Cinematography at the National Film and Television School (NFTS) in the UK. Oliver credits his life in film to his mother and her steady hand as the family camera operator, and he shares how he created his submission film to gain admission into the NFTS after visiting the campus on a lark. We discuss how, as a cinematographer, one's job is to help the director execute their vision rather than impose your own on a film, and Oliver reveals how he grapples with finding the best way to introduce young directors and cinematographers to each other in film school. Oliver also regales us with the many tales and insights that have stuck with him from his long career. Towards the end, with a look to his past, Oliver remembers once animating Spiderman in his youth, and with a look to our future, he predicts the future of filmmaking and moviegoing. - This episode is sponsored by Fiilex Instagram: @fiilexled

Quando vidi My Beautiful Laundrette nel 1985 non avevo idea di chi fosse Hanif Kureishi, ero troppo intenta ad innamorarmi di Daniel Day-Lewis che vedevo lì per la prima volta. Continuai ad ignorare l'esistenza di Hanif Kureishi anche quando uscì Sammy and Rosie Get Laid, qualche anno dopo. Fu solo quando esplose il fenomeno letterario The Buddah of Suburbia che incrontrai il nome di Kureishi e mi appassionai ai suoi romanzi. Ora seguo i suoi dispacci dal suo letto d'ospedale, un'attività meno morbosa di quanto non possa apparire a prima vista.TRASCRIZIONE [ENG translation below]La prima volta che incontrai Hanif Kureishi lo feci inconsciamente, nel senso che non sapevo che c'era lui dietro la sceneggiatura di quel film, sto parlando di My Beautiful Laundrette, un film che esplose letteralmente nel 1985, fece tantissimo scalpore e vinse anche un sacco di premi, tra l'altro il film dove vidi per la prima volta sullo schermo uno strepitoso Daniel Day-Lewis.Ecco, Hanif Kureishi era lo sceneggiatore di My Beautiful Laundrette, penso che in italiano l'abbiano tradotta lavanderia a gettoni o qualcosa del genere. Poi, due anni dopo, fece un altro film, Sammy and Rosie Get Laid, anche quello ebbe molto successo, anche se non tanto quanto My Beautiful Laundrette, però con il Buddha delle periferie, The Buddha of Suburbia del 1990 che mi sono resa conto che Hanif Kureishi mi piaceva tantissimo.The Buddha of Suburbia è il suo primo romanzo e anche questo vinse un sacco di premi e lo mise nel panorama dei giovani scrittori, perché aveva poco più di trent'anni quando uscì The Buddha of Suburbia credo, quindi lo mise nel panorama degli scrittori molto importanti e da lì poi ho cercato di seguire un po' quello che lui ha scritto.Qualche anno dopo scrisse Intimacy, che mi piacque però vagamente ricordo che venne un po oscurato da uno scandalo, perché Intimacy è la storia di un uomo che lascia la moglie, e lui aveva appena lasciato sua moglie nella vita reale per mettersi con una donna più giovane, beh, l'abbiamo visto un sacco di volte queste storie.Perché vi sto parlando di Hanif Kureishi? Perché lo scrittore a dicembre dello scorso anno era in vacanza con la moglie a Roma, è caduto ed è rimasto paralizzato e da dicembre dello scorso anno, ha trascorso prima molti mesi in un ospedale a Roma, poi è stato trasferito in un ospedale a Londra, dove è adesso, e dall'ospedale ha iniziato a scrivere una newsletter che si chiama Dispatches From My Hospital Bed, quindi messaggi, missive dal mio letto dell'ospedale. E io l'ho scoperto per caso, non sapevo che gli fosse successo questo incidente l'ho scoperto qualche mese fa, e da quando l'ho scoperto sono diventata una assidua lettrice di questa sua newsletter, dove racconta, anche con dettagli molto scabrosi, molto molto intimi, quello che gli succede nel letto d'ospedale e com'è cambiata la sua prospettiva di vita.Incredibilmente affascinante, incredibilmente profondo e toccante.TRANSLATIONThe first time I met Hanif Kureishi I did it unconsciously, in the sense that I didn't know that he was behind the script of that film, I'm talking about My Beautiful Laundrette, a film that literally exploded in 1985, made a lot of buzz and also won a lot of awards, by the way, it was the film where I saw for the first time a stunning Daniel Day-Lewis. That's it, Hanif Kureishi was the screenwriter of My Beautiful Laundrette, I think they translated it into Italian token laundry or something like that. Then, two years later, he made another film, Sammy and Rosie and Get Laid, that was also very successful, although not as much as My Beautiful Laundrette, however, it was with The Buddha of Suburbia in 1990 that I realised that I liked Hanif Kureishi very much.The Buddha of Suburbia is his first novel and that also won a lot of awards and put him on the map of young writers, because he was in his early thirties when The Buddha of Suburbia came out, I think, so it put him on the map of important writers and from there then I tried to follow what he wrote.A few years later he wrote Intimacy, which I liked, however, I vaguely remember that it was somewhat overshadowed by a scandal, because Intimacy is the story of a man who leaves his wife, and he had just left his wife in real life to get with a younger woman, well, we've seen these stories a lot of times.Why am I telling you about Hanif Kureishi? The writer in December last year was on vacation with his wife in Rome, fell and became paralysed, since December last year, he spent at first many months in a hospital in Rome, then he was transferred to a hospital in London, where he is now, and from the hospital he started to write a newsletter called Dispatches From My Hospital Bed, so messages, missives from my hospital bed. And I found out by accident, I didn't know about the accident, I found out a few months ago, and since I found out I have become a regular reader of this newsletter of his, where he tells, even with very rough details, very intimate details, what happens to him in the hospital bed and how his perspective of life has changed.Incredibly fascinating, incredibly deep and touching.LINKSLa pagina di Hanif Kureishi su Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanif_KureishiLa newsletter dal letto dell'ospedale https://open.substack.com/pub/hanifkureishi/p/the-day-room?r=afs8d&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

From the moment he arrives onscreen in Stephen Frear's 1986 film My Beautiful Laundrette, Daniel Day-Lewis is impossible to look away from. But there's even more to recommend in this culture clash comedy, which combines sharp critique of the Thatcher era with swoon-worthy gay romance.

Hello, romantics! Your host Manish (@vertigay314) begins a new miniseries on Queer Romance: queer movies, queer guests! First up is Erik Anderson (@awards_watch) with Stephen Frears' 1985 My Beautiful Laundrette. Both a tender, steamy queer romance and a biting look at Thatcher-era England, the film is quite transgressive and radical for its time. Starring a young Daniel Day-Lewis and Gordon Warnecke, the discussion goes into the look of the film, the performances, and how it compares to queer movies today!

Summary: Sara takes (kind of sort of) a break from talking fanfic and bandfic to talk about a different form of storytelling– music, and writing about music! shineswithyou is a familiar face around Oasis and U2 tumblr, but what you might NOT know is that she has recently embarked on a writing journey of her own, with a substack blog about music and its place as the soundtrack of her own life. Sara and shines talk about her blog, and the difficulty of “writing words about sounds”; how music is a language in and of itself capable of telling its own (and our own) stories. Of COURSE we loop it back around to fanfiction and RPF (or, ‘real person fanfiction'), and how bandfic is, at its core, a pure form of love for the musical artist. Other talking points include: how awesome Bono is, and how we wish we could have been at Slane Castle in 2001; the perennial dysfunction of the Gallagher brothers; and the dichotomy of the U2 and Oasis fandoms.

After suffering a fall that has left him paralysed, the playwright, screenwriter and author has begun sharing his thoughts with the world from his hospital bed. Born in suburban Bromley to an English mother and a Pakistani father, Hanif Kureishi turned to the arts to escape his everyday surroundings growing up. He became one of the most celebrated writers of his generation. Mark Coles hears from Kureishi's friends, family and old colleagues, as he explores the life and career of the man whose works include The Buddha of Suburbia and My Beautiful Laundrette.

The third film in our Risqué Romance cycle is the small yet delightful, Valley Girl (1983).Valley Girl, the paradigm of an indie film, transcended its own means of production to become an oddly dismissed 80s mall romcom. As one reviewer aptly stated, the influence of Valley Girl was so massive that it's hard to watch it without feeling a sense of deja vu. Helmed by Martha Coolidge, who went on to direct the classic Real Genius and to become the president of the DGA, Valley Girl features Nicolas Cage in his breakout lead role. Coolidge placated the indie studio's grindhouse expectations while at the same time deftly producing one of the more authentic 1980s romance films.For our chaser film, we explore My Beautiful Laundrette (1985), a homosexual love story that plays down any risque notions. Written by a playwright, this gem of Britain's Channel 4 glows brightly despite its three decades of age.

Decade after decade, director Stephen Frears has maintained an enviable output of movies and TV shows, and his latest film - The Lost King - is now playing in UK cinemas. He joins Simon for a podcast special, where they chat about his work, from breaking through with My Beautiful Laundrette, to the ultra-fast turnaround of Dangerous Liaisons. They also talk about the perils of making studio films in Hollywood, why The Queen went to cinemas rather than TV (and legal advice was involved!), and the assorted challenges of The Lost King...

Ever wanted to see a British gay interracial romance in a laundrette with a young Daniel Day-Lewis? Look no further than the weirdly slow-paced yet sometimes hot and compelling film, My Beautiful Laundrette (1985). Stretching what's acceptable for a slow-burn romance, this film takes 40 minutes to get to the gayness, but maybe it was worth it? In this episode, we mull over confusing family dynamics, surprisingly complex racial politics, why leads Daniel Day-Lewis and Gordon Warnecke were known as the "Listerine Kids," and an unforgettable champagne scene.

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode celebrate 40 years of Film4 with a quartet of famous film-makers who have been part of its rich history and legacy. Founded in 1982, Film4 soon became an iconic and vital voice in British film. It has fostered a reputation for producing gritty, diverse stories from unheard voices as well as championing the more leftfield and experimental side of British cinema. Ellen looks at Film4's origins in conversation with Stephen Frears who directed the very first Film4 film, Walter. Walter stars Sir Ian McKellen as a young man with learning difficulties and the film documents his struggles in Margaret Thatcher's Britain. Frears continued to explore life in 80's Britain in the now iconic and still ground-breaking My Beautiful Laundrette. Stephen and Ellen discuss what the film meant at the time and why it remains relevant. Mark talks to Gurinder Chadha. In 1993 her Film4 produced debut, Bhaji on the Beach, became the first full-length feature film made by a British Asian Woman. Gurinder and Mark discuss the importance of Film4 in championing minorities and what the British film industry was like before and after Film4's emergence. Ellen chats with Ben Wheatley about Film4's response to his irreverent 2011 folk horror film Kill List as well as the multi-platform release of 2013's A Field in England. They talk about how Film4 has always made space for the more uncommercial and experimental side of British cinema. Finally, Mark talks to Clio Barnard about her 2013 Film4 debut, The Selfish Giant. A social realist adaptation of an Oscar Wilde story, Clio discusses how Film4 supported her as an artist and allowed her to share her unique and touching tale.

Magical. Contrast: Beauty and the Beast (1991) BEFORE SUNRISE 1995 (Richard Linklater) The most romantic film inspired by a railway station since Brief Encounter. Semi-improvised dialogue between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as lovers thrown together by chance adds authenticity and intelligence to a film that launched the most unlikely movie franchise. Right person, wrong time, wrong place…. can love survive? Contrast: The Lady Vanishes (1936) CASABLANCA 1942 (Michael Curtiz) When love of justice and romantic love collide, one must be sacrificed? Bogart. Bergman. And a world of talent on and off-camera. Luke's favourite film. Film's most romantic song. Contrast: There is none. It's a non-pareil.

Our Daniel Day-Lewis Acteurist Oeuvre-view gets started with the two 1985 films that established his range, giving a naturalistic portrayal of a working-class youth in the one and a caricature of an upper-class aesthete in the other: Stephen Frears' My Beautiful Laundrette, Hanif Kureishi's Oscar-nominated dark comedy about race, class, and sexuality in Thatcher-era England, and Merchant-Ivory's A Room With a View, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Oscar-winning adaptation of E. M. Forster's romantic comedy of ideas. We argue for Day-Lewis as the lynchpin of these ensemble pieces, providing the (problematic) heart of one and the void at the center of the other, and consider how they anticipate his future performances.     Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:                My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) [dir.

My Beautiful Laundrette, written by Hanif Kureishi and directed by Stephen Frears, was one of the early films produced for Channel 4. First screened in 1985, it tells the story of a young British Pakistani, Omar, played by Gordon Warnecke, who is given a failing laundrette to run by his entrepreneurial uncle. Omar recruits an old school friend Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis) to help him turn the business round and a gay relationship between them develops. Francis Lee, director of God's Own Country and Ammonite, tells Francine Stock about the impact it had on him as young gay man, the sexual and social issues in the film and his own encounter with Stephen Frears.

After celebrating “The Hi-Lo Country” we couldn't help ourselves, and we fell into the deep well of Stephen Frears' filmography. You have nothing to Frear but Frears himself. How is the world wrong about this artist? From Andras: I thought I knew Stephen Frears as a director but after bingeing most of his films I realized I've been viewing him through an American lens. No doubt he made some solid Hollywood movies but it's the UK work that reveals his true quality.

In this episode, Tammy gabs with her old friend Radhika Natarajan, a professor of history at Reed College and low-key brilliant TV critic.Radhika talks about her childhood in Ohio, her parents’ emigration from Tamil Nadu (relevant spoiler: an arranged Brahmin marriage), and her scholarly work on post-colonial migration, citizenship, and multiculturalism in Britain. (Bonus: BAME = POC/BIPOC?) She schools Tammy on Portland’s Black and immigrant communities (the city isn’t all white, Radhika softly yells) and describes the local vibe during 74+ days of Black Lives Matter protests. Then, the discussion (takedown? disquisition?) many TTSG listeners have been waiting for: about the Netflix show “Indian Matchmaking”! Tammy and Radhika talk caste, religion, class, and colorism in the series, media representations of South Asians, and Modi’s bloody transnationalism. Radhika invokes the cultural critic Stuart Hall to question the desire for “cheering fictions” over messy depictions of identity, and looks forward to learning more about Dalit–Black American connections in Isabel Wilkerson’s new book on caste.For more, Radhika recommends:Stephen Frears’s 1985 film, “My Beautiful Laundrette” (per Hall)Nicholas B. Dirks’s 2001 history, Castes of MindAnnihilation of Caste, the 1936 book by Dalit revolutionary B.R. Ambedkar (arguing that inter-caste marriages could never solve the problem of caste; take that, Auntie Sima!)And here’s what the TTSG team has been perusing:Come on, Karen—Indian Food, really?

This week's episode starts with Dave fresh off of MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (6:30), which he saw as part of Coolidge Corner Theatre's series dedicated to Daniel Day-Lewis, "I'm Finished!" It's all over the place with a million plot threads and an impossibly large cast, but boasts a terrific grit and excellent performances. Next up is Kris, who just finished reading Boris Pasternak's DOCTOR ZHIVAGO and rewatched David Lean's adaptation starring Omar Sharif (21:17). Kris wishes he were more impressed with the film after reading the novel, but is he breaking his own rule of separating films from source material by lowering his opinion of a movie he enjoyed? Maybe, and he's the first to admit it. The episode then close things out with a recap of FIRST THEY KILLED MY FATHER (36:42), Angelina Jolie's film about life under the Khmer Rouge. The guys are split -- Dave and Kris enthusiastically in favor, with Evan on the fence as to whether it's a success in its own terms.

Film director Stephen Frears discusses the life of his mentor, Czech-born director, Karel Reisz, with the help of critic and Reisz's friend, John Lahr. Frears is one of Britain's most successful directors, responsible for "My Beautiful Laundrette", "Dangerous Liaisons", and "Dirty Pretty Things", among many others. Reisz is probably best known for "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning", and "The French Lieutenant's Woman".
