Topsy-Turvy (1999)
Directed by Mike Leigh
“Gilbert & Sullivan & So Much More”
Drama, Music, Comedy, History · 2h 40m
For nearly a decade, Gilbert and Sullivan’s collaborations have delighted the English people. But in 1884, as a London heat wave cuts into the theater trade, their latest work, "Princess Ida", receives lukewarm press. In an effort to reconcile their creative differences and drawing inspiration from Japanese culture, they went on to create the hit opera "The Mikado", one of the duo's greatest successes.
