First Post!

The auteur I have chosen is the English director, Mike Leigh.
He focuses on social realism and improvisation and this will be the basis of my hypothesis.

So far, I have seen two films and I have found an interview in Empire magazine consisting of his work.

From reading the interview and watching the films, I can see the actors were in quite a lot of shock as they didn't have a script to follow and were finding out what was going on as the film progressed. This managed to create a huge amount of realism helping the film to play on the audience's emotions.
