Modern Classics Series: Secrets & Lies

Modern cinematography classics at Teatro Santa Ana in La Biblioteca every August Wednesday.

Secrets & Lies | United Kingdom | Dur: 136 minutes
Dir. Mike Leigh | In English

Secrets & Lies is one of Mike Leigh’s most poignant and humanistic works, a compassionate and emotionally searing exploration of family, identity, and the wounds of silence.

🎞When Hortense, a successful Black optometrist, seeks out her birth mother after the death of her adoptive parents, the fragile equilibrium of a working-class London family is quietly and irrevocably upended.

Anchored by a devastating performance from Brenda Blethyn and the quiet strength of Marianne Jean-Baptiste, the film unfolds with Leigh’s signature blend of improvisation and deep psychological insight.

As secrets are uncovered and long-buried emotions erupt, Secrets & Lies offers a rare and moving portrait of reconciliation, class, and the yearning to be known.
