Dirty Pretty Things

Rating:
Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Audrey Tautou, Sergi L
UK Certificate: 18
If everything you know about London's shady underbelly comes from the Guy Ritchie school of street knowledge, prepare to have your illusions dragged into the real gutter. Dirty Pretty Things highlights the plight, poverty and ruthless exploitation of illegal immigrants in our so-called cosmopolitan capital city.
Okwe (Ejiofor) is a noble Nigerian struggling with two jobs in the grimy world of unlicensed mini-cabs, sweatshops and prostitution. And when his Turkish asylum-seeking friend Senay (Tautou) loses her job they are both dragged into the horrific trade of organ selling.
Succeeding as both a social study and a tense thriller, Dirty Pretty Things is a bleak portrayal of a life you never knew existed, yet is told with compassion. No stranger to left-field London life, director Stephen Frears' (My Beautiful Laundrette) intelligent and sympathetic understanding of society's disillusioned underclass is exceptional. Coupled with the outstanding performances, this is easily one of the best British films you'll see this year.
