Das Massaker, über das die Briten nicht reden wollen: 1819.

80.000 unbewaffnete Männer, Frauen und Kinder protestieren gegen hohe Brotpreise. 15 sterben unter den Säbelhieben der Soldaten, darunter ein Baby, 600 werden verletzt.

Der »« (2018) von gehört zu meinen Allzeit-Favoriten. Schade, daß dieses in jeglicher Hinsicht meisterhafte Werk im deutschsprachigem Raum nicht stattfindet: keine Synchro, keine Ausstrahlung, keine Home-Media-Auswertung, obwohl seitdem bei studiocanal/Arthaus ne neue Mike-Leigh-Box rausgekommen ist.

Freue mich sehr, daß Thomas von @schoenerdenken mit mir Begeisterung für »Peterloo« teilt. - -Geschichte. schoener-denken.de/blog/peterl

Mike Leigh's BBC films are class-conscious, prickly, strange, satirical, and often very funny.

🎬 Caught a few twisted minutes of "Rare Beasts" (2021) and thought, "-on-meth in modern and saturated color." Then I saw in it. Yes.

It's a strange and sometimes violent and cringey-funny small film written and directed by and starring . When it's over, the title card isn't "The End"—it's "The Fucking End" innit.

I loved it.

[1977] Play for Today - "The Kiss of Death", Mike Leigh directs this whimsical tale about Trevor (David Threlfall), an unusually bashful mortician's assistant, whose moods and personality really make up the subject of the film. A natural landscape for Leigh's offbeat and bleakly humorous world-view.

[1973] Scene - Mixture of fictional and non-fictional thought-provoking short films aimed at students of school and college. This is "A Mug's Game?", actor improvisations around the theme of gambling devised by Mike Leigh.

Discussed editing in my Intro to Cinema class today. To illustrate the effects of editing, I showed 2 scenes at coffee/tea shops: first in Secrets and Lies (no editing) and second in Heat (robust editing). To my delightful surprise, they preferred Secrets and Lies.
