To be fair social awkwardness is a constant feature of his films.

So he rose to fame here in the UK for a couple of tv plays, Abigail’s Party and Nuts In May which poked fun at the middle class and were very funny at the time but for modern audiences would probably not land the same because of the specific cultural references.
High Hopes did the same kind of thing on the big screen, once again it’s a snapshot of its time.
Life Is Sweet and Naked are my favourite films of his and if anyone feels like dipping into his work these are the two I’d suggest you start with, Life Is Sweet is a gentler comedy than Naked, which is probably his blackest film in terms of the comedy. (Vera Drake, which I haven’t seen, is a drama which is reportedly unremittingly bleak.)
Secrets and Lies was one of his most lauded films, the usual trademarks of his films are here: an interest in the specific signifieirs of class and community, some warm humour and a sympathetic look at family relationships that takes in some difficult material, adoption, race relations etc…
Topsy-Turvy was his first foray into period/costume drama and tells the story of the writing of the comic opera The Mikado by Victorian era authors Gilbert & Sullivan.
I don’t know how the humour and drama of these films will land for people that are not from England because it is very English.
More recently his work is more overtly political and I haven’t kept up with it because, although I suspect that we’d find quite a lot to agree on politically, I go to the pictures to be entertained not to be lectured.

Damn. Where is a good fuckstress when you need one?
- Comment on Mola the Fucktress 6 months ago:
That’s not an answer, that merely denotes multiple fucks not multiple simultaneous fucks. And that’s without we get to the sticky topic of multiple penetration, if someone is fucking an orifice and someone is fucking a different orifice is the owner of the orifices having a single fuck or a double fuck? What about the penetrators, are they necessarily sharing the same fuck or merely sharing a fuckstress?

Tory MPs could lose their seats on the gravy train says hapless, feckless prole. I imagine I am more right than he is.

Why are the fucks in parallel rather than in series?

I’d be happier with “Mola the Fuckstress” somehow.

It’s all very well people going on about accordion man’s impatience but if you also had a leg hose full of okra to empty you’d soon see how it feels to be clowned on by a glam rocker with a bucket.

When you’ve got someone saying things like: “I am the light” clearly we’re beyond the particle/waveform level of confusion.

Ahhhhhhh, I get it. JESU 1 had problems so he had to go to JESU 2 to heal him. Unfortunately JESU 2 also had problems that were beyond the combined powers of him and JESU Prime which caused JESU 3 to come into existence. So this here is JESU 23, he’s just fixed JESU 22’s shit but he’s a bit unsteady walking on water with the extra limbs so he’s off to see JESU 24.

Wikipedia:
To mate
following courtship,
the male usually leaps onto the female’s back,
clasping her thorax and wing bases
with his forelegs.
He then arches his abdomen
to deposit and store sperm
in a special chamber near the tip of the female’s abdomen.
The female lays between 10 and 400 eggs,
depending on the species. Eggs are typically deposited in a froth mass-produced by glands
in the abdomen.
This froth hardens,
creating a protective capsule,
which together with the egg mass
is called an ootheca.
