La vida es dulce (1991)
Justo al norte de Londres viven Wendy, Andy y sus gemelas de veintitantos años, Natalie y Nicola. Wendy trabaja en una tienda, dirige ejercicios aeróbicos en una escuela primaria, bromea como un vaudevillian, acuerda ser camarera en el nuevo restaurante de un amigo y adora a Andy, un cocinero que pospone para siempre los proyectos de remodelación de su casa, y con un amigo borracho, compra un paquete roto Abajo vagón de almuerzo. Natalie, con el pelo corto y aseado y una actitud ágil y divertida, es fontanero; ella tiene un feriado planeado en Estados Unidos, pero poco más. El último es Nicola, un hombre extraño: un gruñido, anteojos grandes, cigarrillo, cabello despeinado, dedos nerviosos, bulímico, desempleado e infeliz. La forma en que interactúan y juegan el conflicto familiar y el amor es el tema de la película.
Directora: Mike Leigh
