By which I mean that the Director of Slumdog Millionaire comes from Bury. And it’s 99% a first rate, non-Bollywood film spanning the horrendous divide between rich and poor in India. The flash-back device to show how the hero comes to know the answers in the TV quiz show, in which he is suspected of cheating, is very effective. Also sometimes the difference between dream and reality which isn’t immediately apparent. Really liked it.
And the 1% — the closing credits had a song-and dance routine by the cast — almost wrecked it.
Some of us like the song-and-dance routine.
