The big one

The Personal History of David Copperfield

This absurd, comic movie on the life of Charles Dickens’ character, from the 1850 novel David Copperfield, comes from Armando Iannucci (Avenue 5, Veep). David himself (Dev Patel) looks back over the events of his life to determine whether he’s the hero of his own story.
