The Personal History of David Copperfield

2019 · TMDB 6.4

Directed by Armando Iannucci

A fresh and distinctive take on Charles Dickens’ semi-autobiographical masterpiece, The Personal History of David Copperfield, set in the 1840s, chronicles the life of its iconic title character as he navigates a chaotic world to find his elusive place within it. From his unhappy childhood to the discovery of his gift as a storyteller and writer, David’s journey is by turns hilarious and tragic, but always full of life, colour and humanity.

Wonderful, frantic and very silly. A great film enjoyed by me and my 9yo (but the not the grumpy teen....although she doesn't like much)
