Life is Sweet Happy is Go Lucky

Under discussion:

Life Is Sweet  (1991)

Naked  (1994)

Domestic bliss,of a sort,as portrayed by Mike Leigh's ensemble...Jane Horrocks ("bollox") is fantastic as a bulemic/anorexic..the scenes between her and "mother" Alison Steadman are some of the most moving ever.David Thewlis gives us a taste (chocolate flavour) of the mercurial character he will portray in "Naked" Timothy Spall,with his new "cosmopolitan" restaurant,and his "orfapeedic" bed are just plain hilarious.Everything is undercut by a melancholy that will take you back to the tribulations of "growing up"...Leigh has recently kind-of returned to this fertile territory with Happy Go Lucky
