An insightful collection of original interviews with the innovative director of Secrets & Lies
A five-time Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner and the only British director to have won the top prize at both Cannes (for Secrets & Lies) and Venice (for Vera Drake), Mike Leigh is unquestionably one of world cinema's preeminent figures. First trained in theater, Leigh devised his own method for the making of first plays and then films, based on months of improvisation and rehearsal with actors prior to shooting. Leigh's actors invent characters based on real people, each unaware of what the other is up to or the larger design Leigh has in mind. In their commingling of bleakness and humor, Leigh's films re-create the tragicomic world of people whose everyday lives are far from glamorous: a world in which the done thing usually prevails, contrary to our inner hopes, wants, or needs. Leigh's work has always reflected its times and entered the vernacular, whether the harsh studies of Meantime and Naked or the humor of the now legendary Abigail's Party and Nuts in May. Above all, Leigh is an accomplished storyteller, and these films deal with universal themes: births, marriages and deaths, parenthood and failed relationships, families and their secrets and lies. Leigh speaks to Amy Raphael more openly than ever before about his life and inimitable working method, revealing himself as passionate, wise, and the owner of a dry and playful Mancunian wit.Binding Type: Paperback

Very comfortable women's cotton boxers
Size: 12, Color: White Pack
These Comfort Choice women's boxers are comfortable and made of soft cotton. They are not bulky. On me, I,'m 5'2", they come down to about 2" from my knee. I wear them from fall through the winter. They give that little extra layered feeling. The legs stay down.I weigh 259 and wear size 13.

Product quality unpredictable.
Size: 12, Color: Vibrant Blue Pack
Disappointed in this purchase. I have purchased this type of shorts for sleep wear in the past and enjoyed them but the quality, fit and sizing has become increasingly unpredictable. This batch is so bad they fall off while I am sleeping anytime I turn in the bed the item slips off of my body. The elastic is so tiny it can't adhere to my shape. It cost too much to return the item so I am using it till I find a replacement.

Soft, but too short for my long legs
Size: 10, Color: Basic Pack
These are soft, but much too short in the legs, so that I have to continuously pull the legs back down out of the crease between my upper thighs where it creeps up into the crease btwn the thigh and stomach. If they were about 4-5" longer they would be a 5☆ rating for me.
