As a kid in the '40s and '50s, I would sit in movies endlessly ... and think wouldn't it be great if you could see people in films like peo- ple actually are? Mike Leigh, The Salon Interview 1 I don't make films that are exclusively or idiosyncratically English; the subject matter of my films is not English, but universal. Mike Leigh, quoted in Movshovitz 2 Introduction In a 2008 interview for BAFTA (The British Academy of Film and Television Arts), the English movie director, Mike Leigh, recalled a moment of truth that he experienced during a life painting class at the Camberwell Art School in London in the mid 1960s.3 He had moved to London from Manchester in 1960, intending to train as an actor. At first, he attended RADA (the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts), but he found the experience very unsatisfactory. In Leigh's opinion, RADA's teaching was based on old-fashioned and unsuitable methods. In par­ ticular, he felt that there was no room for actors to bring their own interpretation of characters or experience of life into the process of creating a film or play.

  • England in a Miniature in Mike Leigh's “The Short and Curlies” 25
    anna śliwińska Images vol. X/no. 19 Poznań 2012 England in a Miniature in Mike Leigh’s ISSN 1731-450x “The Short and Curlies” Working on The Short and Curlies (1987) was a breakthrough in Mike Leigh’s career. After his successful and promising debut Bleak Moments (1971) the director felt the need to continue working in the film industry, but did not know where he should direct his career to. He spent a few next years working in the theatre and television. Throughout 1986 he was traveling and taking care of his sons. As he admits, he doubted whether he would ever work in the film industry again. He was a 43-year-old man, who believed that it was too late for another film debut. And then, as Leigh recalls, David Rose from Channel 4 contacted him and proposed that Leigh make a short film that would be a part of a series aired in the UK. Rose was so impressed with Leigh’s film that he decided to give the whole series the titleThe Short and Curlies (Leigh has referred to this idea as ridiculous).[1] This almost eighteen-minute film meant to Leigh a return to work and the beginning of a new stage in his career. It is noteworthy that all the themes which Mike Leigh devel- oped in his subsequent films, appeared inThe Short and Curlies. His films are known for having kept the same tone and having played out the same melody for years. This opinion can be easily turned into the accusation of being “boring” but Leigh turns it to his favour.
