Summary

The nature of contrivance. How to watch a Mike Leigh movie: The short and Curlies. -- Biography and career outline. -- Character and plot: Meantime and Four days in July. -- Art and narrative: Naked and Secrets and Lies. -- Topsy-turvy girls, career boys: Career girls and Topsy-turvy. -- Vera's fingers: All or Nothing and Vera Drake. -- Five lessons, Four seasons: Happy-go-lucky and Another year. -- Interview with Mike Leigh.

Reclaims the British director as a practicing theorist--a filmmaker deeply invested in cinema's formal, conceptual, and narrative dimensions. In contrast with Leigh's prevailing reputation as a straightforward crafter of social realist movies, illuminates the visual tropes and storytelling investigations that position Leigh as an experimental filmmaker who uses the art and artifice of cinema to frame tales of the everyday and the extraordinary alike.
