Four Days in July (1984)
Great slice of life drama

I have to disagree that this film hasn't a point or conclusion. The final scene in the hospital sums up so much of the division in a few simple words and is very poignant.
The drama is full of gentle humour epitomised in a scene in which the wife's waters break and she manages to make her man his sandwiches before they go to the hospital.
I would rank this up there with the best of Mike Leigh's work, his script shows an understanding of the time and the people and while some of the characters are crude stereotypes the humanity still shines though. If you are expecting something visceral like Naked you will be disappointed but if you are interested in the North and social drama then you will love this.
