Trailer - Mike Leigh's 'Another Year'

Mike Leigh has received six Oscar nominations in 13 years, pretty good for a guy who has only made half a dozen movies in that time. Twice, he's been nominated for directing and his script in the same year. It's not a certainty that will happen this year, of course, but I'm not betting against the screenplay for Another Year. The movie debuted at Cannes and was instantly beloved, as his work generally is among critics and arthouse patrons. What is interesting about Leigh's approach is that he doesn't really have a script, as such. He and the actors work from a pretty general outline of what the scenes are to accomplish. It's really working without a net, but it's just another way to do it. Woody Allen, to whom Leigh is frequently compared because of both mens' facilities with different kinds of stories and their secretive nature, among other things, does it a completely different way. He writes every stitch of the script, and while there are probably changes here and there once the production happens, there's not the organic growth of the story through that character-finding process Leigh and his actors go through. Check out the trailer: I understand why Focus is rolling this out at the end of December. Happy-Go-Lucky, which featured a nomination-worthy performance by Sally Hawkins (as well as Eddie Marsan), but it was overshadowed at the end of the year because the studio threw it into theaters too soon. That's what happened with Up in the Air, too, I think. Possibly Precious, as well. And if the odds are it won't make a ton of money, which this probably won't, why not hold onto it until it has the maximum awards season impact?
