Leytonstone Pop-Up Cinema is proud to present the following programme of Summer screenings as part of the Leytonstone Festival 2011:
Another Year (12)
Dir: Mike Leigh. UK, 2010; 129 min.
‘Another Year’ is a 2010 British drama film written and directed by Mike Leigh, starring Lesley Manville, Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen.
Mike Leigh brings his usual sure touch to a story that juxtaposes warmth and laughter with a chilly solitude. One of Mike Leigh’s greatest subjects has always been family — the ties that bind, the ones that can strangle. But what of life’s loose ends, the unwed and unloved?
Pitting the cosy, deep-rooted contentment of a long-married pair against the loneliness of an over-the-hill single friend, Another Year is a film of cruel and poignant contrasts, juxtaposing its warmth and laughter with the chill wind of disappointed solitude.
Another point of interest of this film for our local community is that it was largely filmed in the vicinity of Wanstead, which we hope some of our audience may identify throughout the course of the film.
