The Personal History of David Copperfield
A modern take on Charles Dickens's classic tale of a young orphan who is able to triumph over many obstacles. Played by an exquisite British star cast.
Set in the nineteenth century, the film tells the life story of young David Copperfield. After being kicked out of the house by his stepfather, David goes from one adventure to the next, meeting some of Victorian England’s most eccentric characters. His journey takes him from rags to riches and back, but the studious Copperfield braves both fortunes and adversity with his head held high.
The leading roles are played by a star cast, including Dev Patel (LION, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE), Tilda Swinton (WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN), Hugh Laurie (HOUSE) and Ben Whishaw (MARY POPPINS RETURNS). The film won multiple awards at the 2019 British Independent Film Awards.
