Sammy and Rosie Get Laid
Watch TrailerSammy and Rosie's London apartment is a sanctuary of bohemian chaos. Their open marriage, radical politics, and eclectic friends create a vibrant, messy life. But when Sammy's estranged father, a wealthy and politically dubious exile, arrives from abroad, their fragile equilibrium shatters. His presence forces confrontations with privilege, heritage, and the very foundations of their relationship. Hanif Kureishi's sharp, provocative 1987 tragicomedy dissects love, politics, and identity in Thatcher's Britain, where personal liberation collides with brutal social realities. A raw and witty portrait of a generation caught between ideals and compromise.
