Tossup

A series at the Lincoln Center entitled “Human Conditions: The Films of [this director]” included a 35mm restoration of their film about three working class families titled All or Nothing. In a film by this director, the protagonist witnesses the reunion of a Scottish couple who immediately start fighting as they disappear under a bridge. That film by this (15[1])director ends with Andrew Dickson’s main theme growing louder as the protagonist steals several hundred pounds and (*) limps away from the flat of his former girlfriend, who he had just promised to stay with. Another film by this director follows a black optometrist who discovers that her birth mother is a working-class white woman. This director’s most famous film follows the extremely cruel Johnny, played by David Thewlis, as he embarks on a nighttime journey through London. For 10 points, name this British director of Secrets & Lies and Naked. ■END■
