[PAR] [TLE] Mike Leigh [SEP] Mike Leigh OBE (born 20 February 1943) is an English writer and director of film and theatre.  He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) before honing his directing skills at East 15 Acting School and further at the Camberwell School of Art and the Central School of Art and Design.  He began as a theatre director and playwright in the mid-1960s.  In the 1970s and 1980s his career moved between theatre work and making films for BBC Television, many of which were characterised by a gritty "kitchen sink realism" style.  His well-known films include the comedy-dramas "Life is Sweet" (1990) and "Career Girls" (1997), the Gilbert and Sullivan biographical film "Topsy-Turvy" (1999), and the bleak working-class drama "All or Nothing" (2002).  His most notable works are the black comedy-drama "Naked" (1993), for which he won the Best Director Award at Cannes, the Oscar-nominated, BAFTA and Palme d'Or-winning drama "Secrets & Lies" (1996), the Golden Lion winning working-class drama "Vera Drake" (2004), and the Palme d'Or nominated biopic "Mr. Turner" (2014).  Some of his notable stage plays include "Smelling A Rat", "It's A Great Big Shame", "Greek Tragedy", "Goose-Pimples", "Ecstasy", and "Abigail's Party".
