This is such a beautiful tribute to both Dick Pope and Mike Leigh - thank you! I didn't know about them before this (!!), but now I'm planning on watching all these films. When the focus is on 'real' - as in 'human life as most of us know it' - and on 'feelings' - as in 'all the good, bad, crazy, angry, loving and vulnerable emotions' that make up our days...I am there!! I like and need good, escapist fare to chill out many days, but work like what you describe here enriches my life.
