EditThe Personal History of David Copperfield (2019)

The English author Charles Dickens described “David Copperfield” as “a favourite child” among the collection of his novels. Now, please forget what you know about this classics. Director and Co-writer Armando Iannucci has taken it and turned it upside down, keeping only the Victorian era setting. Wonder what might be the result of such audacious experiment? Watch to find out. In the meanwhile, we can give you some jokers, like the fact that Iannucci’s choice for the role of the grown-up David is Dev Patel. Same as young Mr. Copperfield, the “Slumdog Millionaire” star is born in London. However, that's all the resemblances. So, what’s the story about? After surviving a miserable childhood, David’s alteration from an unhappy boy into an accomplished storyteller is amazing. Through tears and laughter, his life maybe be burdensome at times but never without fire and strong emotions.
