Screening
Screen/Society–“Sammy & Rosie Get Laid” (Stephen Frears, 1987) – rare 35mm screening
Open To The Public
“Directed by Stephen Frears from a script by Hanif Kureishi — the team responsible for ‘My Beautiful Laundrette’ — ‘Sammy and Rosie’ has a fierce, scrambled intelligence. In this story about a group of interlocking characters in a London neighborhood on the fringe, Kureishi and Frears rack up all of their views on sex, politics, colonialism, social injustice and rebellion like balls in a game of pool, then send them flying.” — Hal Hinson, Washington Post
