Review of Topsy-Turvy (1999) by Adam S — 30 May 2011
Mike Leigh's instant masterpiece is the most unlikely film in his oeuvre; a meticulously researched, dressed, and performed back-stage theater dramedy about the making of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado", paying equal respect and time to Gilbert's inspired writing and directing and Sullivan's impossibly witty orchestrations.
Immaculate on every level, but Jim Broadbent and Allan Corduner as G&S, respectively, are tops.
