Their new Blu-ray presents the film in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1 on a dual-layer disc with a new 1080p/24hz high-definition transfer. Like the other Mike Leigh films I have seen, this one shows little interest in telling a conventional story with a tidy beginning, middle, and end. Perhaps its the sweet, world-weary musical score from the wonderful Rachel Portman. Andy is easily persuaded by his drinking buddy Patsy (Stephen Rea) to purchase a rusty, run-down food truck to renovate and restore. That isn't to say Leigh couldn't pull off such films, just that they do not seem to have any place in his conception of the art form. Leigh and his typically brilliant cast create, with extraordinary sensitivity and craft, a vivid, lived-in story of ordinary existence, in which even modest dreams—such as the father’s desire to open a food truck—carry enormous weight. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited. Next comes an audio recording of an interview (1:00:56) Leigh gave at London's National Film Theatre upon the film's March 1991 UK release. As usual, the enthusiasm, intelligence, and generosity in Leigh's own personality are contagious in their own right, above and beyond those same qualities' plentiful manifestations in the film itself. google_ad_channel = "7587674822+8782361110"; Andy's family scoffs at his investment as another major task is added to his rarely tackled "to do" list. The Birth of the Goalie of the 2001 F.A. Cup Final looks at a couple (Richard Ireson and Celia Quicke) over a few years as they talk about having a kid, plan for it, and finally do. The bad daughter is Nicola (Jane Horrocks), a twitchy, skinny thing with a nasty word and bitter face for anyone who dares address her. Cast: Alison Steadman (Wendy), Jim Broadbent (Andy), Claire Skinner (Natalie), Jane Horrocks (Nicola), Stephen Rea (Patsy), Timothy Spall (Aubrey), David Thewlis (Nicola's Lover), Moya Brady (Paula), David Neilson (Steve), Harriet Thorpe (Customer), Paul Trussel (Chef), Jack Thorpe-Baker (Nigel) The basic menu displays a still of the family while a bit of score is played but not looped. In the early 1990s, Leigh was not yet well-known as a filmmaker, having dabbled largely in British theatre and television since his 1971 film debut Bleak Moments.
