The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017)
Movie
Released
Dan Stevens's Charles Dickens tries to turn financial pressure and unruly memories into A Christmas Carol, with Christopher Plummer's Scrooge behaving like an argumentative collaborator. It is an inviting way to revisit the familiar story from the writer's imagined working room. The film dramatises inspiration rather than offering a literal record of composition, and the title is playful shorthand: Dickens did not create the holiday itself.

About The Man Who Invented Christmas
In 1843, despite the fact that Dickens is a successful writer, the failure of his latest book puts his career at a crossroads, until the moment when, struggling with inspiration and confronting reality with his childhood memories, a new character is born in the depths of his troubled mind; an old, lonely, embittered man, so vivid, so human, that a whole world grows around him, a story so inspiring that changed the meaning of Christmas forever.
