I have a sneaking suspicion Mike Leigh‘s Secrets & Lies is going to be added to the Criterion Collection very soon, if only because the film has disappeared from Netflix as of late and can hardly be purchased on Amazon unless you’re willing to shell out $99.99 for the DVD. I only add this little introduction because 1.) I want it to happen and I’ll read anything into Leigh being at the Criterion offices and 2.) it offers a little anecdote before introducing Leigh’s time spent in the Criterion closet wherein he doesn’t seem to actually take anything, but instead gives reason why you should consider buying titles such as Bicycle Thieves, Vivre sa Vie and The Late Spring, plus his personal connection to A Hard Day’s Night and there’s no surprise he loves Jules and Jim is there?
