East is East is actually one of my favourite films. It has social commentary, humour, realism, religion, it challenges you to to understand what life was like for people when Enoch powell was yattering on about all his crap about sending people back to where they came from.

It takes the whole culture and race issue in the 50’s out of the box.

Sometimes it makes you laugh, sometimes it makes you damn uncomfortable. A classic Brit Film.
