Due to unforeseen circumstances that will affect the guest experience at the Paris, we are cancelling the remaining shows at the Paris for Saturday, March 22, including the 7:05pm screening of MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE. We apologize for the inconvenience as this is the only scheduled show of this film.


35mm print! Set in the Pakistani community of London, My Beautiful Laundrette follows the fortunes of handsome young Omar who, together with his English friend Johnny, takes over a run-down laundrette given to him by his rich uncle. Together they transform it into a gaudy, neon-lit palace complete with muzak and video screens. Against a background of racial tension and poverty in the rough London suburb, their own relationship, portrayed with tenderness and passion, blossoms to love.

Note on the condition of this 35mm print: On the fourth reel of the film, there is some degradation and a thin but consistent green emulsion scratch running vertically in the right-side of the image. This is the studio's only 35mm print.
