Bright Young Things

Bright Young Things is a 2003 movie directed by Stephen Fry, which is a directorial debut for the British actor and presenter. It's a faithful adaptation of the satirical 1930 novel Vile Bodies, written by Evelyn Waugh.

Compared to other period films, Bright Young Things is relatively fast-paced, due to the film focussing on fame and the frenzy of the media.

The central plot is a romance story, but the film provides social commentary on younger people in the 1930s, as well as society in general.
