Meantime

“This is Meantime by Mike Leigh. Quite an important filmmaker for me because, whilst I was at college, it just so happened that Mike Leigh had been at film college with one of the tutors on the course, and so he was invited to come and show a film... He was trying to get at something real, and I actually... I think I’m on this DVD because I... I spoke to Mike Leigh about it when it was put on the Criterion Collection. So, yeah, Mike Leigh. Definitely going dans le sac, as we say.”

“Meantime, Benny talked about Meantime. There's a scene towards the end of the movie that was wildly, that remains a wild inspiration to us at all times. And Tim Roth actually at Venice, remember when we kind of accosted him and I said to him, I said, first I said, I said Made in Britain changed my life. He said, yeah, me too. And then Benny said, no, but Meantime is really it.”
