Mike Leigh Another Year Film Premiere

Only eight days until I attend the Another Year Film Premiere and once again meet the delightful Mike Leigh!!!

Nominated for the Palme d'Or award award at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, a brilliant ensemble and resonant script make Another Year one of Mike Leigh's best films.

The film unfolds over four seasons, an accumulation of encounters and largely minor events that emphasize Leigh’s ingenuity in taking the essence of daily life and transforming it into something resonant and meaningful. Not too dissimilar, to the skills used by psychotherapists, like myself, to interpret their clients’ experiences and narratives in the consultation room. Following an "accumulation of encounters" I was rather excitedly chauffeur driven to the Another Year film set to advise Mike and his cast on the authenticity of this remarkable film narrative involving counselling in September 2009.
