mike leigh - all or nothing - 2002
the films of mike leigh part five
"it's about love and passions and coping on a low income." mike leigh on mike leigh.
along with mr. turner, this film is (among other things) a collaboration with the great actor timothy spall. his character in this film ranks with leigh's best. mr. spall has made his mark in profound ways in many good and mediocre films, his actorshippe is beyond compare. other notable performances by him are as peter pettigrew in the harry potter films, as winston churchill in the kings speech, and in sweeney todd: the demon barber of fleet street.
timothy spall
"if it hadn't have happened, you might have driven...
around the next corner and killed a little kid.
it's what's-its-name, fickle finger of fate.
if you knew what was gonna happen to you...
when you woke up in the morning, you'd never get out of bed.
that's life.
the old clock ticks, world turns around...
tide comes in, tide goes out. you're born, you die. that's it."
"phil (spall's character) suffers from being a romantic and a person with an imagination" mike leigh on mike leigh
