The History Boys (2006) - 83%
Nicholas Hytners’ screen adaptation of Alan Bennett’s ‘The History Boys’, containing all of the stage show’s original cast, is a magnificent film of undoubted depth. It concerns the fortunes of a group of charmingly gifted schoolboys from Yorkshire and their efforts to get into Oxford, and deals in academia, sexuality, causality and love. Stirring performances from, among others, Richard Griffiths, Stephen Campbell Moore (who I’ve praised in this blog before) and Madame Maxime make it a thoroughly endearing and thoughtful viewing experience.
