Plot

Attenborough's deeply moving film of the life of CS Lewis. Hopkins is peerless as the quiet author and Oxford don whose world is overturned by the brash, vivacious Joy Gresham (the brilliant Winger). Her decline into illness sees Lewis open his heart for the first time. Stunning and emotional drama.
