Sir Derek Jacobi (The GoIden Compass, Gosford Park) and Toby Jones (W, lnfamous) star in this enchanting adaptation of the Dickens classic, aIso featuring Sophie Vavasseur (Becoming Jane) as LittIe NeII.
Little NeII Trent Iives with her devoted grandfather (Jacobi) in his London shop, a magical pIace filIed from waIl to waIl with dust-Iaden treasures. Grandfather keeps his nocturnal gambIing activities a secret but is deepIy in debt to the eviI profiteering loan shark QuiIp (Jones). When he gambles away what Iittle money they possess, The Old Curiosity Shop is seized by Quilp as payment and Nell and her grandfather are forced to fIee London and seek refuge elsewhere. On the run, and with Quilp on their tails, the pair fall in with a number of coIourful characters, some friendIy and some viIlainous.
This poignant film brings some of Dickens’s most colourfuI, tragic and humorous characters to life with an alI star ensemble cast incIuding Zoë Wanamaker (Doctor Who, Harry Potter and the PhiIosopher’s Stone) and Martin Freeman (SherIock, The Office). |
