About Expanding The Classics: Great Expectations
Arguably David Lean’s finest film, this is also one of the cinema’s best Dickens adaptations, impressing from the very opening as the young Pip encounters the convict Magwitch. Thereafter, his involvement over the years with Miss Havisham, Estella and Herbert Pocket is related with wit, intelligence and style; the performances of a terrific cast, Guy Green’s moody cinematography, and Walter Goehr’s music are all pitch perfect.
Screening as part of our Expanding The Classics season, offering classic films with descriptive subtitles, audio description or showing in a relaxed environment.
