Bright Young Things
Sex... Scandal... Celebrity... Some things never change.
Directed by Stephen Fry
Produced by The Film Consortium, UK Film Council
A witty, visually stylish satire of 1930s London high society that uses period excess and social comedy to gently skewer aristocratic frivolity and celebrity culture.
During the 1930s in England, a group of young socialites dominate the national gossip with extravagant and outlandish antics. Among the group is the aspiring novelist Adam Fenwick-Symes, who is attempting to raise enough money to marry fellow member Nina Blount. However, after customs officials confiscate his first manuscript, Fenwick-Symes must recover from the financial setback and figure out new ways to earn money for a wedding.
