Mike Leigh's Tender Loving Care is a film about kind and empathetic people being kind and empathetic. And how rare is that?
In this episode, Alex Heeney asks what tender loving care actually looks like in the film — between friends, family members, and social workers and the people they care for — and what that care can and can't do.
Alex digs into the scenes and filmmaking choices that illuminate those relationships, including the film's use of domestic spaces, what Leigh keeps offscreen, Jacqueline Durran's costumes, recurring scenes of singing, and the opening and closing shots that complicate the film's take on care.
