Bright Young Things
British writer/actor Stephen Fry makes his feature directorial debut with this witty, sophisticated comedy adapted from Evelyn Waugh's novel "Vile Bodies". Set in London during the '30s, this stylish period film follows an ensemble cast of well-dressed and highly literate partygoers, the 'Bright Young Things' as dubbed by the press, who follow their every move. Amidst all the frantic glamour, Adam (Stephen Campbell Moore), who is well connected but totally broke, is desperately trying to get enough money to marry the beautiful Nina (Emily Mortimer). While his attempts are constantly thwarted, their friends seem one by one to self-destruct in their endless search for newer and faster sensations. Cameo appearances are made by the likes of Dan Aykroyd, Simon Callow, and Stockard Channing.
