About this product

Product Information

Director Mike Leigh's high-minded telling of the story of legendary musical team Gilbert & Sullivan is one of the director's most thorough, highly ambitious efforts. Concentrating mainly on the tumultuous period just before the conception and production of the pair's THE MIKADO (first staged in 1885), Leigh's film rings true with an authenticity that transports the audience back to Victorian England with remarkable ease. Leigh, who comes from an extensive theater background, researched this period in English history exhaustively, from etiquette to the costumes to the production numbers. Both Jim Broadbent (as the negative-minded William Schwenk Gilbert) and Allan Corduner (as the "genius," Arthur Sullivan) deliver impassioned, entirely believable performances, as do the supporting players--particularly Kevin McKidd, Lesley Manville, and Leigh regular Timothy Spall. Notably different from the director's previous brutally realistic, modern day examinations (such as NAKED and SECRETS AND LIES), Leigh's film bears genuine affection for the work of Gilbert & Sullivan, which shines through in every frame. Successfully blending comedy, music, historical drama, and human emotion, TOPSY-TURVY proves that Leigh is not just a brilliant chronicler of modern class conflicts in England; he is a thorough, sensitive filmmaker with a tight grasp on the human condition.

    US cut of brilliant film badly edits the original British film

    I bought the English tape, one of the most delightful British "period" comedies ever. So naturally I got the CD. But for reasons I can't imagine, many scenes are abruptly and awkwardly cut, most objectionably the final soliloquy of the soubrette, "We truly rule the world, the Sun and I." Unhappily, British CDs are incompatible with US technology. So the only way to see this marvelous movie is to locate an original videotape. It's still a wonder. But tiny executive brains seem capable of pissing in any pitcher of fresh water.

  • Awesome period piece entertainment

    Even if you never heard Gilbert and Sullivan, this movie is still incredibly fun and entertaining. All these trash can "rappers" think they can ryme, but only Gilbert and Sullivan have the complete control of the English language and are the epitamy of excellent.

  • Not to me missed if you enjoy Gilbert and Sullivan

    Quality of the overall acting and production is excellent. Anyone with the slightest interest in Gilbert and Sullivan should watch it. It seems that it is largely historical correct while still retaining entertainment value. Highly recommend.
