Plot Sypnosis:
The world of GILBERT AND SULLIVAN comes to vivid life in this
extraordinary dramatization of the staging of their legendary 1885
comic opera The Mikado from Mike Leigh (Naked, Secrets and Lies). JIM
BROADBENT (Moulin Rouge, Iris) and ALLAN CORDUNER (Yentl, Vera Drake)
brilliantly inhabit the roles of the world-famous Victorian librettist
and composer, respectively, who, along with their troupe of
temperamental actors, must battle personal and professional demons
while mounting this major production. A lushly produced epic about the
harsh realities of creative expression, featuring bravura performances
and Oscar-winning costume design and makeup, Topsy-Turvy is an
unexpected period delight from one of contemporary cinema’s great
artists.
