The Baftas vs Mike Leigh: why is our best auteur continually snubbed? | Film | The Guardian:
"Mike Leigh is one of the UK's greatest living artists. Awards won't boost or diminish that.
He's the kind of artist whose work saves lives..... A bit dramatic to say but his character's struggles in life strengthen the viewer.
His films are like novels.... full of depth.
He's up there with Shakespeare and Dickens (who I know people see as untouchable gods) - but he mixes comedy and tragedy and in a 100 years people will be watching and reading his work, which will give one of the most honest pictures of our times and how we live.
Thank god for Mike Leigh."
