NICHOLAS NICKLEBY (2002) (TT255)

Description: “Swift, engaging entertainment…a colorful, affecting collage of Dickensian moods and motifs, a movie that elicits an overwhelming desire to plunge into 900 pages of 19th-century prose.” – A.O. Scott, The New York Times “Positively brisk, sparkling new adaptation…Trust and deceit, generosity and meanness are fleshed out by a deft cast, including…Christopher Plummer in a terrifyingly good performance as Nicholas’ heartless rich uncle.”– Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly Writer-director Douglas McGrath (Emma) brings us a cleverly pared-down but potent version of Charles Dickens’ massive and often darkly humorous study of Victorian corruption, Nicholas Nickleby (2002). The extraordinary cast includes Christopher Plummer as Nicholas’ evil financier uncle; Jim Broadbent and Juliet Stevenson as the loathsome Mr. and Mrs. Squeers; and, more brightly, Tom Courtenay, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Bell, Timothy Spall, Romola Garai, and Charlie Hunnam as Nicholas. Also highlighted by a score from Rachel Portman, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
