Mike Leigh is a five-time Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner, known for his unique body of work that recreates the tragi-comic world of people whose everyday lives are far from glamorous. He is an accomplished storyteller who deals with universal themes such as births, marriages, deaths, parenthood, and failed relationships. In this career-length interview, he reflects on all that has gone into the making of his films and reveals himself as passionate, forthright, and the owner of a dry and playful Mancunian wit.

Five-time Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner, Mike Leigh is undoubtedly 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 humor, 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 humor 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.
