Mike Leigh -- The Great Directors Series (Episode #6)

For over forty years, Mike Leigh has made humanistic films that honor complex characters as unique individuals with whom we should sympathize. He makes unique films with few if any common plots.

This video introduces new viewers to Leigh, and helps fans of Leigh understand his contribution to the art of film better.

I present a top-5 list of Leigh movies, along with recommendations.

Films discussed:
-- Another Year-
-- Life is Sweet
-- Mr. Turner
-- Topsy-Turvy
-- Secrets and Lies
-- Happy Go Lucky
-- Naked
-- All or Nothing
-- Vera Drake

All reasonable comments welcome, including reasoned disagreements. You will be banned for foolish talk, harassment, and hate speech on sight; it's a tremendous waste of life.

Better than all of those, in my opinion, is his "Abigail's Party", 1977. Do watch!
