Publisher Description
Much of English filmmaker Mike Leigh's work between the late 1970s and early 1990s reflects a passionate critique of the economic and social policies of Thatcherism, addressing a British society that had turned its back on the political and social consensus of the previous forty years. Nowhere is this critique more poignantly nuanced than in 1988's High Hopes, in which, in alternately subtle and broadly satirical terms, Leigh examines the state of the family in Thatcherite London.
