Movie propaganda
Known to the press, who follow their every move, as Bright Young Things, Adam (Stephen Campbell Moore) and his friends are eccentric, wild and entirely shocking to the older generation. Their world is that of the young, party-loving creatures new to gramophone records and the telephone - this is a self-consciously generation that cannot keep still for a second. Amidst all the madness, Adam, who is well-connected and yet totally broke, is desperately trying to get enough money to marry the beautiful Nina (Emily Mortimer). However, whilst his attempts are constantly thwarted, his friends seem one by one to self-destruct in their endless search for newer and faster sensations. Finally, when events out of their control come crashing into their world, they are forces to reassess their lives and what they value the most.

Theatrical report
I saw rich people doing what rich people do best: being bored, spending money and looking gorgeous.
It's all too divine.
Fenella Woolgar's fag hag and party girl extraordinaire, Agatha, steals every scene in which she appears: she's a blonde Rupert Everett (My best friend's wedding). You simply must see it.
