Golly-gee Omar used to date his punker racist friend Johnny (Daniel-Day Lewis in his first good role?), sees him again in a dark scary tunnel and they get back together. Help run O’s uncle’s laundromat, paying for renovations by stealing from uncle’s actual business, drug-running. Omar’s father is spaced-out-and-dreamy sick old man Roshan Seth (Monsoon Wedding<\/a><\/em>, Temple of Doom<\/em>) and uncle is Saeed Jaffrey (man who would be king). Omar gets on power trip, has some “reverse” racist moments with Daniel-Day, and flirts with a female cousin.<\/p>\n Something seems off throughout – nobody is quite behaving normally, and the camera work is slightly absurd (clean, shining, colorful images), and there are soap bubble sound effects on the soundtrack. I didn’t know what to make of it all.<\/p>\n Writer Hanif Kureishi was also the source of Patrice Ch\u00e9reau’s Intimacy<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve already done enough damage with this one, so I’ll be brief.
