High Hopes

(Mike Leigh, 1988)

Man pointing to something in distance, High Hopes

High Hopes examines the social divides of Margaret Thatcher’s England through working-class couple Cyril and Shirley (Phil Davis and Ruth Sheen). The pair copes with the yuppies moving into their neighborhood, Cyril’s social-climbing sister and his conservative mother, and their own disagreement on whether or not to have a baby together. (112 mins., DCP)
