I'm very sceptical of his supposed approach to writing and improvisation. I know the actors love it, and love talking about how much they love it, but much of it sounds tosh to me. And if some of the characterisations in Topsy-Turvy were due to this method then give me a conventional script every time. But I do find some of the movies very watchable, and Alison Steadman is always absolutely brilliant.

Fingers crossed for the Palme D'Or tomorrow; Mike Leigh's actors on the news talking today; he really is responsible for the best British actors today going back to Jim Broadbent, Tim Spall, Alison (ex wife), Imelda...
Genius.
