'The Personal History of David Copperfield': Film review TIFF19
A film to make some hypothetical, not terribly well-read movie critic wish he'd carved out time in his teens for Dickens, Armando Iannucci'sturns the author's well-loved autobiographical epic into a fast-moving yarn, sometimes hilarious and always entertaining.The Thick of It
Soon the three dimensions of the house called The Rookery flatten out, fall away, and we're in the first of David's many temporary homes: A fantastical tiny house, built on a beach in an overturned boat, where Peggotty and her husband raise other cast-away kids. David's widowed mother is courting, and the man she marries is mean. Little David has been writing and drawing everything he observes for some time, but he finds himself unable to read when pressured by Edward.
If there's too much plot in the film to jam into this synopsis, be assured there's too much plot in the novel to fit in the film. Adapting the book with cowriter Simon Blackwell, Iannucci gracefully rewrites some major plot elements , rearranges others and repurposes characters who simply can't be dismissed along with their discarded storylines.
