| | Notes | As bleak as the title suggests, and the alternative title must be ironic. Leigh's films usually involve some improvisation. They portray accurately, and without any gloss, scenes of family life. But there is humour. His television plays "Abigail's Party" and "Nuts in May" are hilarious. Bleak Moments is his first film for the cinema and recently he won the Palm d'Or at Cannes. In this film a woman is looking after her sister who has learning difficulties. At the same time she is trying to arouse the interest of a shy teacher.
