Great Expectations Synopsis
Visually ravishing and rippling with immediacy, this new adaptation of the classic novel, directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; Four Weddings and a Funeral), provides a fitting conclusion to both the 56th BFI London Film Festival and London's bicentenary celebrations of the life and work of Charles Dickens. Frightened into aiding an escaped convict (Ralph Fiennes in top form as Magwitch), young orphan Pip incurs the wrath of his abusive sister and guardian (Sally Hawkins) and is sent to satisfy the mysterious whims of the immensely rich and grim Miss Havisham (Helena Bonham Carter) and her adopted daughter Estella (Helena Barlow as the girl). This short-lived interlude leaves Pip captivated by the beautiful Estella and with a newly-acquired taste for grander things. Years later, when he is training with his kindly brother-in-law Joe (Jason Flemyng) as a blacksmith's apprentice, Pip learns from London lawyer Jaggers (Robbie Coltrane) that he has come into a fortune which will allow him to live as a gentleman. He assumes that his benefactor is the same lovelorn lady he visited as a child. David Nicholl's splendid script has an acute respect for the complexities of Dicken's original text (and I shall leave you in suspense as to which ending he chooses). The arc of Pip's journey , his youthful, innocent love for Estella, his corruption by social ambition and the dangerously possessive desire that follows , is also superbly expressed in the transition from Toby Irvine as the loyal young Pip, to Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) as the self-centred, careless adult. Holliday Grainger is delectable as the adult Estella, her calculated remove a perfect study of contained voluptuousness. One of the film's many accomplished strokes comes from costume designer Beatrix Aruna Pasztor's (Drugstore Cowboy; The Fisher King; Good Will Hunting) whose phantasmagorical gothic creation of Miss Havisham's brittle, papery wedding gown is both a knowing tribute to the actress who wears it and a sublime interpretation of Dickens' most melancholic character.
