The History Boys
Director:Nicholas Hytner
Samuel Barnett, Stephen Campbell, Richard Griffiths, Frances de la Tour
Nicholas Hytner, Richard Griffiths and Frances de la Tour reprise their Tony-winning roles in this engaging film version of Alan Bennett's play chronicling a rowdy group of boys on their way to higher education. On a quest to attend either Oxford or Cambridge, the teens grapple with the intricacies of university entrance exams and admissions, ultimately learning as much about the education system as they do about academics.
Delightful movie--well acted, verbal and very bright--it shows that good movies CAN be made.
