Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Mike Leigh: Singular Vision

Mike Leigh: Singular Vision

Full of insight about filmmaking outside Hollywood, this program presents an interview with British writer/director Mike Leigh. The acclaimed filmmaker discusses his highly personal approach to story development and his refusal to categorize his work as “art house” or strictly political. Insisting that he makes films for popular enjoyment, Leigh asserts his artistic mission: to create stories that resonate on a basic, emotional level, featuring characters with whom the audience can closely identify. Clips from his movie Vera Drake and from an interview with that film’s star, Imelda Staunton, shed additional light on the uniqueness of the director’s vision. (47 minutes)
