^^ one of my all time favourite filmmakers. Still haven't seen it though, I guess the topic just feels too frustrating. I prefer his low key human dramas. Another year was so warm and beautiful.

Didn't even know Mike Leigh had another film out since Turner. I have a strange relationship with him: Naked is one of my all time favorite films but after watching Career Girls and not liking it all that much it I got the sense that Naked is a one-off and all the other dozens of films he made are completely different in tone so I'm not in a hurry to watch them, though I want to one day. I think I tried torrenting Life is Sweet but it never downloaded or something.

Yes I would say Naked is a one off. The rest of his filmography is quite different, nothing is that intense or verbose, it's mostly about ordinary people and ordinary lives, with a lot of emotion and empathy. If I've gotten to know you a little bit by now, I would say don't bother...

Had to leave the theater last night during the first ten minutes due to it being absolutely filled with obnoxious f*cking talking morons. I'm seeing it Monday during the middle of the day.

It wasn't just that. We were forced into the front row due to the stupid f*cking "reserved seating" thing where half the theater buys them online and doesn't show up until 20 minutes after the movie starts. It was too close. Hurt our eyes.
