The film is also impeccably shot, edited and scored by Dick Pope, Jon Gregory and Gary Yershon, respectively. It looks simply gorgeous, with unfussy sets and a very specific quality of light in each of the four seasonal chapters. Each season is punctuated with a visit to Tom and Gerri's allotment, which adds a very nice touch. The film also cleverly captures the fact that much of real life takes place in the kitchen. And that we cause the most harm when we refuse to say what needs to be said.
Mike Leigh continues to impress with a film that gained a rousing applause from the 63rd Cannes Film Festival audience as the final scene faded to black and the credits began to roll. Another Year uses the happy family life of Tom and Gerri (Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen) in contrast to the lives of their friends around them as they are consistently reminded "sometimes life's not kind."
Leigh's examination is broken up in four parts. As the seasons change on what amounts to another year, this is almost a nature documentary using humans and the obstacles that befall us all as its subject. Life, death and the search for love is a constant in all our lives and they are on display here as the lives of those Leigh chooses to photograph unfold in front of us. After all, you boil any year in any of our lives down to two hours and you may be surprised at how much there is to sort throughThough the story is told through the lives of Tom and Gerri (a clever bit of naming good for one solid joke), Mary, played with absolute perfection by frequent Leigh collaborator Lesley Manville, is the center of the film. Divorced before she was 30 only to fall in love with, and be left by a married man before she was 40, Mary is a complete wreck. Working as a receptionist at the hospital where Gerri serves as a counselor, her life involves work, after hours drinking and plenty of self-pity.
Additionally, Mary harbors an unrealistic attraction to Tom and Gerri's son Joe (Oliver Maltman) and can't stand Tom's boyhood friend Ken (Peter Wright), a man whose current station in life nearly mirrors Mary's exactly as he chugs a beer and has a cigarette to his lips before he swallows. For Mary opposites certainly do attract, but her hopes of clinging to the only good things she can find in life will soon have her pushing even those agreeable to her away.
