I like Mike Leigh. I've only seen Naked, Topsy Turvey and Happy Go Lucky
My liking of Mike Leigh could be related to my fixation of regional accents and stuff though.
Watch Career Girls. It's maybe my favourite Leigh film.
I've had Another Year on my hd for months now, still can't decide to watch it since all his films are pretty moving and I don't need something to further my winter blues.
I need to check out those earlier Leigh films, not sure if i've seen any.
I found Another Year to be far more on the uplifting side than depressing.
Have to admit though that I was pretty confused at times during the movie,
because for some reason I had the impression that the wife dies in it and it's about
how the husband deals with that.
