As we close out the film year, moments from the 20th minute and 10th second of the films of 2010. Here's Mike Leigh's Another Year.
Mary: Brought you a little present, some thyme. It's nothing much.
Gerry: Lovely.
This is the first of many times we see Mary (Lesley Manville) visiting Tom (Jim Broadbent) and Gerri (Ruth Sheen) at home. She always arrives frazzled and they're (almost) always welcoming. It's kind of great that the gift she brings is a homophone for something that she's so worried of running out of. They're all getting on in years.
Such a lovely film. It's up for the Screenplay Oscar. Did it ever make it to a theater near you?
