The personal history of David Copperfield
You don’t have to be a fan of Charles Dickens to enjoy this film. With an award for best screenplay, this story of Copperfield’s life from birth to adulthood is not the average period drama. Warm, funny and with an all star cast Dev Patel plays Copperfield, with many names, with a wit and enthusiasm that I found enchanting.
With Hugh Laurie, Tilda Swinton and Paul Whitehouse a special mention from me for the incredible Daisy May Cooper as Peggoty and the marvellous Peter Capaldi as Mr Micawber
Recognising so many of the places where it was filmed also made it special however those paying attention will no doubt notice a few modern ‘slip ups’ on location. In Kings Lynn near the customs house dock, a small sign on the wall and later on a snippet of a block of flats.
