Based on Lloyd Jones’ award-winning novel of the same name and directed by Andrew Adamson (the man behind the first two Shrek films and the first two Chronicles of Narnia movies), Mr. Pip is set in Bougainville, a cinematically untouched island close to Papua New Guinea. The story centres on Mr. Watts (Hugh Laurie), an enigmatic teacher who shares Dickens’ Great Expectations with his students. He bonds with a young girl (Xzannjah Matsi), who becomes transfixed by the story and the character of Pip, pushing her imagination into over-drive, with dangerous consequences ensuing.
