London Kills Me (1991)

London Kills Me is a 1991 film written and directed by Hanif Kureshi and starred Justin Chadwick and Steven Mackintosh. Set in West London it tells the tale of a group of homeless drugtakers and general losers with black humour. Even so, the portrayal of life on London's streets was sympathetic if bleak. It was critically panned and a failure at the box office. It is now considered an indie snapshot of early '90s London. Post Trainspotting (film), which deals with a very similar theme, it might be due for a re-appraisal
