"Another Year," Mike Lee's latest film, hasn't garnered much traction.
This bland work must have its sparkle.
She has a soft style of its own, which is similar to the lightness of prose poetry, and it is like a cup of green tea with a light fragrance after lunch, which is really refreshing. There is no need to worry about losing and gaining here, just a little focus and sincerity. Yes, this middle-aged couple who lived happily, used their joy to light up the gloomy lives of others.
Experienced in spring, summer, autumn and winter, among family and friendship, fiery and warmth, joy and sadness, hope and disappointment, friendship, loneliness, birth, old age, sickness and death, time passing... Simply put, "Another Year" is about a pair of happiness The story of a couple and a group of not-so-happy friends around them.
A husband and wife who have been together for 40 years, they live in the suburbs of London, raising their son Joe together, taking care of the garden at home, and dealing with problems for college classmates or friends who talk nonsense when they drink. Of course, there are occasional small ups and downs in their lives, such as Joe's new girlfriend, the sudden death of a relative, problems at work, etc.
According to the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the director shows the small problems encountered in the daily life of this ordinary couple and how they spend it, just like the director's previous "Sweet Life", "Professional Girl", "Worry Free" Like "Worryless" and other movies, "Another Year" has a trivial plot and no plot climax, but it has a long-lost power to move people's hearts, reminding people that even the most ordinary life has extraordinary insights.
