International Trailer For Mike Leigh’s Latest Film, Another Year, Hits The Internet

Coming out of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, very few films walked away with the massive level of hype that Mike Leigh’s (Naked) newest film, Another Year, did.

Opposite films like Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful and Woody Allen’s You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, Another Year easily became one of the festival’s most beloved films, and is still considered by many the best film to come out of that festival.

Now, we finally have our first real look at the film, and thanks to the Guardian, it’s in the form of one hell of a great trailer. The outlet (via Rope Of Silicon) brings us the trailer, and I have to say, it looks like a welcoming comedy, with some fantastic performances from the likes of Jim Broadbent and Lesley Manville. The cast also includes Ruth Sheen, Peter Wight, David Bradley, Karina Fernandez and Phil Davis.



The film is a generational dramedy, that follows a family over the span of one year. It will be hitting theaters in the UK on November 5, with no US release date set quite yet. However, with the copious amount of buzz the film garnered up to this point, and all of the awards buzz that it no doubt will have later on in the game, expect a release to come rather quick.

And based on this trailer, I can’t wait.
