Tender Loving Care: Mike Leigh\u2019s wonderful film about what care can and can\u2019t do","description":"Mike Leigh\u2019s 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 \u2014 between friends, family members, and social workers and the people they care for \u2014 and what that care can and can\u2019t do. Alex digs into the scenes and filmmaking choices that illuminate those relationships, including the film\u2019s use of domestic spaces, what Leigh keeps offscreen, Jacqueline Durran\u2019s costumes, recurring scenes of singing, and the opening and closing shots that complicate the film\u2019s take on care. Alex's upcoming film programs:  The Deep Focus: The Worst Person in the World starts October 8. The Long Take returns in November for the first time in a year.
