Dirty Pretty Things (2002). A grimy story of the tribulations of illegal immigrants and what they must endure (and perform) for those most willing to take advantage of them. The cast was a treat, for they were not only solid actors, but there was nary a standard fare Englishman amonst them. Chiwetel Ejiofor as Okwe portrayed his angelic though tortured character beautifully and deserves an award for his performance. When Audrey Tautou finally let down her stern manner of consternation it was almost a relief. This was definitely a dark, cerebral, and even poetic flick that makes the viewer forget that he is watching a movie. Ashe.
