Description
Based on the 1990 novel by author/screenwriter Kureishi (MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDERETTE), this frank, funny BBC mini series originally ran on UK television in 1993. It is the mid-1970s, and Karim (Andrews) is a teenager of Pakistani descent in London. His office worker father (Seth) suddenly becomes a neighbourhood guru, teaching meditation classes around the neighborhood. Before long, Karim's father has a mistress (Fleetwood), whose son, a glam rocker who is also the coolest kid in school (Mackintosh), Karim finds himself strangely attracted to. Will Karim be able to navigate the confusion of youth and make a mark in theatre? Kureishi's funny and expansive tale, full of interesting characters, is given due treatment here, with a fine soundtrack by Bowie.
