“Stephen Frearsu0026#39; film of Hanif Kureshiu0026#39;s script about the Pakistani and the NF punk who grew up as friends, and find themselves attracted to each other again. Gordon Warneke and Daniel Day-Lewis play the lovers in this intelligent movie which has a cheap British tinge but has some superb moments (Saeed Jaffrey as Warnekeu0026#39;s uncle, a professional businessman, not a professional Pakistaniu0026#39;) within it. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePerhaps the longest-lasting image is the two boys in the back room of the launderette, splashing each other with water, and putting aside the political differences between them.
