Join us for our fifth annual Film Feast and enjoy the 40th anniversary of a queer classic paired with a thematically curated multi-course meal!

Set in the Pakistani community of London, MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE follows the fortunes of handsome young Omar (Gordon Warnecke), who takes over a run-down laundrette given to him by his rich uncle. Together with his street-punk friend Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis), they transform it into a popular, neon-lit palace as their emotions bubble alongside the spin cycles.

Against a backdrop of social and racial tension in Thatcher-era London, Omar and Johnny’s budding relationship blossoms into love with tenderness and passion.

Featuring an Academy Award–nominated screenplay by Hanif Kureishi and deft direction by Stephen Frears, MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE remains both timeless and groundbreaking.
