Reader Reviews
BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS is a rare gem of a movie. Based on Evelyn Waugh's landmark novel "Vile Bodies" and directed with great skill by Stephen Fry (in his directorial debut), the film is an exciting mix of great performances and a fabulous story. Penniless author Adam Fenwick-Symes (Stephen Campbell Moore) resorts to drastic measures in order to get the neccessary funds to marry Nina Blount (Emily Mortimer), a carefree socialite who is one of the `bright young things', a group of young aristocrats for whom life is one endless party. Despite the looming spectre of the Second World War, nothing will stop these hedonistic creatures from living life to the fullest. Evelyn Waugh's "Vile Bodies" was set in an imagined future, but Stephen Fry has wisely (and quite effectively) placed the story in it's accurate historical timeframe. The story perfectly brings to life the generation born between the two wars who felt completely detatched from what occurred in the past and cared little for what lay ahead. The cast is outstanding: Campbell Moore and Mortimer are wonderful as the central romantic couple Adam and Nina; surrounding them is a gallery of unforgettable supporting players. Fenella Woolgar steals the show as eccentric party-girl Agatha with James McAvoy and Michael Sheen in top form. There are also delightful cameo-style roles for illustrious stars including Stockard Channing, Sir John Mills, Julia McKenzie, Peter O'Toole, Simon Callow, Dan Aykroyd, Angela Thorne, Imelda Staunton and Richard E. Grant. I was greatly impressed with this gem of a movie. BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS is a period film with a twist.
