The Personal History of David Copperfield

Directed, co-produced and co-written by Scottish Armando Iannucci, along with long-term British writing collaborator Ian Blackwell, this comedy-drama is a delightfully absurdist elevation of the original text. The BAFTA- and Golden Globe-nominated film stars remarkable comic performances from British actors Dev Patel, Tilda Swinton, Peter Capaldi, Ben Whishaw, Sarah Crowe and Benedict Wong. Co-produced by the UK’s Film4.
