Mike Leigh To Shoot New Film This Year, Re-Teaming With Bleecker Street, Studiocanal, Film4 & Cornerstone Ahead Of EFM
Seven-time Oscar nominee Leigh, coming off Hard Truths, is lining up his next project.
Cornerstone handled international sales and is back aboard ahead of the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin. The hard-hitting London-set film centers on Jean-Baptiste’s Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions and prone to tirades against her husband, son and anyone who looks her way, and her younger sister (Michele Austin, from Leigh’s Another Year), a single mother with a life as different from Pansy’s as their temperaments. As Pansy increasingly nears her snapping point, the film explores how even through lifetimes of hurt and hardship, families still find ways to love one another.
