Nuts in May
Dir: Mike Leigh
1976
*****
Nuts in May is classic Mike Leigh. The interaction between characters, the fantastic performances and the irrelevant script are all just magical. It's been said that non-English people will struggle to understand this film which I think is a little unfair. Cinema is more globally available these days what with the Internet and DVDs etc, myself and many film fans around the world enjoy and understand films from other countries and cultures across the globe, so please don't over look this little gem. It's not to be overlooked for being a TV movie either as some of Leigh's best work was done at the BBC. Treat yourself, watch and enjoy - perticullarly if you liked Ben Wheatley's 2012 film Sightseeers.
