VHS Movie Reviews of Sammy & Rosie Get Laid
Movie Review: Great Film
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my top five (four? three? two?) films of all time. Cinematically lush and evocative.... Provocative, sensual and painting characters with a richness that allows the viewer to connect and empathize (quite a trick with character ranging from man-hating lesbian to old world old man autocrat). Watch it.Movie Review: Can't find me love
Summary: 4 Stars
Sammy and Rosie are a married couple with modern ideas about open marriage, which lead eventually to jealousy and hostility. Meanwhile, London, where they live, is racked with social upheaval involving the poor and racism. Sammy's father, an old-world Pakistani, comes to visit bringng the old-world tradition with him, which doesn't help matters much. The movie is very surreal and thus hard to follow at times. Everyone is looking for love and forgiveness, though there doesn't seem to be much of either left to give. Very bleak and grim.Movie Review: Surreal and Real
Summary: 5 Stars
Sammy & Rosie is one of my top 5 movies of all time. It's difficult to find, and not available on DVD, but worth buying, even used. Director Frears' usual ability to probe sexual mores, ambiguities and absurdities is brilliantly mixed with the politics of power, class and race.Movie Review: Raw London
Summary: 4 Stars
Sammy and Rosie Get Laid is a real picture of London in the mid-80. The story is based in a couple living in London during the clash between police and demonstrators. The unemployment was too high and there was the minorities, like coloured didn't have a chance for survive. Sammy and Rosie believe in free love and have lovers. The relantioship is based in free wheeling. Sammy has a father, Rafi, an former politician in India that moved to London. Rafi intends to live in London forever and find his mistress that he left 30 years ago. Rafi met Victoria (or Danny), a coloured man with no job. Victoria lives in a trailer and walks away. Sammy hates his father, but Rafi give his money to Sammy. Rosie is a feminist and supporter of lesbians, gays and unemployers. A real and raw London you cand find it with a great finale. Enjoy it!
