Blinded by the Light

BBC3 10PM - 11.50PM ★★★

COMEDY DRAMA A lively movie based on Sarfraz Manzoor’s memoir about how his love of Bruce Springsteen helped him survive 1980s Luton. Viveik Kalra brings charm to the film’s teen British-pakistani protagonist, whose yearning to get out from under the thumb of his domineering dad and escape his dead-end life finds perfect expression in The Boss’ rousing music. Dir: Gurinder Chadha 2019, 12
