Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, viii + 359 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This work provides a detailed analysis of the unique filmmaking methodology of the acclaimed British director Mike Leigh. It moves beyond simple film criticism to explore the entire creative process, from his famous and intensive period of improvisation and rehearsal with actors to the final shaping of the narrative. The authors examine how this collaborative, character-driven approach generates the raw material for his screenplays, resulting in films celebrated for their social realism and psychological depth. Drawing on case studies of key films like Naked, Secrets & Lies, and Vera Drake, the book serves as a comprehensive guide to the "Leigh method" and its significance in contemporary cinema.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Renowned for making films that are at once sly domestic satires and heartbreaking 'social realist' dramas, British writer-director Mike Leigh confronts his viewers with an un-romanticized dramatization of modern-day society in the hopes of inspiring them to strive for greater self-awareness and compassion for others. This collection features new, interdisciplinary essays that cover all phases of the BAFTA-award-winner's film career, from his early made-for-television film work to his theatrical releases, including Life is Sweet (1990), Naked (1993), Secrets & Lies (1996), Career Girls (1997), Topsy-Turvy (1999), All or Nothing (2002), Vera Drake (2004), Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) and Another Year (2010).With contributions from international scholars from a variety of fields, the essays in this collection cover individual films and the recurring themes and motifs in several films, such as representations of class and gender, and overt social commentary and political subtexts. Also covered are Leigh's visual stylizations and storytelling techniques ranging from explorations of the costume design to set design to the music and camerawork and editing; the collaborative process of 'devising and directing' a Mike Leigh film that involves character-building, world-construction, plotting, improvisations and script-writing; the process of funding and marketing for these seemingly 'uncommercial' projects, and a survey of Leigh's critical reception and the existing writing on his work.
