Review of Bleak Moments (1971) by Jaii F — 04 Aug 2010
A film of geat humanity. it watches its characters, lets them breath in a way that only mike leigh can. they dont speak much and say little when they do. its a film about how hard it is to live, how hard it is to speak and be understood and understand others, how hard it is to be and feel alone.
not only does it do all this but it performs it with the lightest of touches, often comical. these people are not the best and brightest, but they are people that deserve the theatrical and narrative compassion that leigh constantly extends.
a beautiful film.
