The Personal History of David Copperfield + Q&A at HOME
Creative TouristDirector Armando Iannucci (The Death of Stalin) brings his sardonic wit to Charles Dickens’ classic autobiographical novel. With its refreshing and incredibly progressive colour-blind casting and ceaseless visual surprises — walls literally fall away to make room for flashbacks — Iannucci and co-writer Blackwell transpose their source material into a decidedly 21st-century cinematic context. Yet the film never loses sight of its central ideas: that great art is born of great experience, and one’s true fortune can be measured in friends.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Armando Iannucci.
