If you loved My Beautiful Laundrette, try Hero
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Stephen Frears, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to My Beautiful Laundrette, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hero is
Here's a film that wants to say something about the nature of heroism. A down-on-his-luck petty crook performs an anonymous act of bravery, only for someone else to take the credit. It's mostly a character study, even if that character is a bit of a loser.
