This new revised edition brings Mike Leigh's career up-to-date,
including his film about J.M.W. Turner, MisterTurner, and his epic
masterpiece, Peterloo. Five-time Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner,
the only British director to have won the top prize at both Cannes
(for Secrets & Lies) and Venice (for Vera Drake) - Mike Leigh
is unquestionably one of world cinema's pre-eminent figures. Now,
in this definitive career-length interview, he reflects on all that
has gone into the making of his unique body of work. In their
commingling of bleakness and humour, Leigh's films recreate the
tragi-comic world of people whose everyday lives are far from
glamorous: a world in which 'the done thing' usually prevails,
contrary to our inner hopes, wants or needs. Leigh's work has
always reflected its times and entered the vernacular, whether the
harsh studies of Meantime and Naked or the humour of the
now-legendary Abigail's Party and Nuts in May. Above all, Leigh is
an accomplished storyteller, and these films deal with universal
themes: births, marriages and deaths, parenthood and failed
relationships, families and their secrets and lies. Within these
pages Leigh speaks to Amy Raphael more openly than ever before of
his life and inimitable working method, revealing himself as
passionate, forthright, no sufferer of fools, but the owner of a
dry and playful Mancunian wit.
