Career Girls by Mike Leigh
Two young women who shared a flat together in university re-unite after six years. As they re-acquaint themselves with each other, their past comes flooding back to them. In the course of their weekend they come face to face with others from their past and have to confront the inadequacy of their lives and the diminishment of their dreams. Career Girls is a moving, yet also hilarious, depiction of friendship, in which the humour is suffused with an unsentimental tenderness.
Born in Salford, Manchester, in 1943, Mike Leigh has developed a unique method of creating films through controlled improvisations. After his debut Bleak Moments (1971) he made a succession of admired TV plays, including Abigail's Party and Nuts in May. He then returned to feature films: High Hopes (1988), Life is Sweet (1990), Naked (1993). Secrets and Lies won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1996. Topsy-Turvy (1999) won two Oscars. His latest film is All or Nothing (2002).
