BBC News - Today - Winterbottom's 5-year 'love story' Michael Winterbottom has directed a new film which premieres tonight at the London Film Festival. The film, Everyday, explores the relationship between a man, imprisoned for drug smuggling, and his wife. Shot a few weeks at a time over five years, the film draws on the length of the lead character's prison sentence and aims to achieve an authentic ageing process in the actors who play his children. "It's a love story really," the director told John Humphrys, "it's about can love survive a long period of separation." "This is not a film about prison in its detail"' he explained, but it is about the "essence of prison... in taking you way from your normal life."
