The Personal History of David Copperfield

Armando Iannucci's wildly inventive adaptation of Dickens follows the irrepressible David Copperfield from his chaotic childhood through misfortune and adventure to his eventual triumph as a writer. Colour-blind cast and all, this is the most joyfully anarchic and warm-hearted Dickens adaptation in decades, led by Dev Patel's irresistible central performance.
