Mike Leigh is an interesting director. Most of his films are nearly entirely improvised. He assembles a group of actors, gives them a vague outline of a plot and has the group spend several months improvising and developing their characters and their story. If he feels they've got a film he starts filming. That's how I heard it, at any rate.

I've seen Nuts in May, Secrets and Lies, Life is Sweet, Topsy Turvy (About Gilbert and Sullivan and their writing of The Mikado - not improvised afaik) They are all very intense and a mix of humor and sadness.

I'd have to say Secrets and Lies was my favorite. spoilers galore in the plot summary.

I've seen Secrets and Lies and Life is Sweet.
I thought I'd seen another, but I may be making it up.

Oh - Vera Drake.

He's slightly too bitter-sweet for me.
I could easily cry all the way through his films.
Like Kate Atkinson but without the happiness.

I know what you mean. But they usually have a positive resolution IIRC.

But yes, he does go to some very dark places.

Maybe I was really thinking Bill Forsyth in relation to Monster's story, much more humorous and bizarre.

Sundae · 02-11-2013, 09:15 AM

Or Bruce Forsyth?

footfootfoot · 02-11-2013, 09:26 AM

Don't confuse me.

Sundae · 02-11-2013, 09:28 AM

Do I win if I can?

footfootfoot · 02-11-2013, 09:39 AM

Don't mock the afflicted.

infinite monkey · 02-11-2013, 09:41 AM

You can, however, mock the affected. Please.

Sundae · 02-11-2013, 09:48 AM

I would if I could. But I admit I'd have to Google it first, and that would be cheating.
