FREARS ONE

This is the Stephen Frears Festival.

We had never heard of Frears when we went to see

My Beautiful Launderette (1985)

We were bowled over by the film and have seen it several times.

At its core, this film is the perfect 'gay' film in that it incorporates gay into a tasty stew of class, ethnicity, age, gender, politics and culture.

It is Daniel Day-Lewis' second film.

It has a great story with a wonderful cast.

So, it is our opener which will not be chronological. It is more a buildup to see his most recent film The Queen and it will take us about five films to get there.

This was a great beginning.
