Stephen Frears in a interview with film scholar and producer Colin MacCabe. The topics which he touches upon include his career in theater and TV prior to making the film, his impressions of Hanif Kureishi, his relative ignorance of immigrant life and the world he was unwittingly stepping into, the impact of the release of the film, and plenty more.

Pioneering cultural theorist Colin MacCabe explores the legacy of the 1970s leftist movement that sought to adapt communism to Western Europe in this playfully discursive, intellectually omnivorous cine-essay à la Chris Marker.
