Director Mike Leigh delivers another raucous social comedy with NUTS IN MAY. Keith (Roger Sloman) and Candice Marie (Alison Steadman), an interminably smug, self-satisfied English...
more...couple, settle down for a 10-day holiday at a rural camping site. It isn't long before their peaceful trip is disturbed with the arrival of Ray (Anthony O'Donnell), a college student who blasts his radio continually. Tensions between the campers are eventually calmed, but Candice Marie's newfound admiration for Ray sparks friction between her and Keith. When Finger (Stephen Bill) and Honky (Sheila Kelley) arrive, their lack of respect for the rules culminates in a near physical brawl.
In traditional Leigh fashion, the director lets his story develop at a leisurely pace, concentrating more on character development for the film's first two acts. By the time the new campers threaten Keith's strict moral values by breaking the rules and starting a fire, each character has become a completely distinct individual, resulting in an argument that is hysterical and moving at the same time. As the snotty Keith and Candice Marie, Sloman and Steadman deliver supremely convincing performances along with the supporting players, who add hilarity and class conflict to the proceedings.
