"Duncan Roy's vision is elegant, priceless and wholly original, A.K.A. is a masterpiece". Will Self. Described as a modern-day Pygmalion, A.K.a> is a mesmerising study of the British Class System

This British feature film stars Lindsey Coulson (best known as EastEnders' Carol Jackson), Matthew Leitch (Band of Brothers) and Diana Quick (Brideshead Revisited).

Set in Thatcher's Britain during the 80s, it tells the story of Dean (Leitch) a shy, working-class lad from Romford who has been kicked out by his abusive father. He heads for London and meets up with gallery owner and society hostess Lady Gryffoyn (Quick).

He soon embarks on a new life of deception and duplicity. Rent boys, toffs, artists, Champagne and coke all flow free and fast, but as Dean heads off to Europe and spends more of the upper classes' money, the Fraud Squad closes in on him.

A thoroughly enjoyable movie and such a good cast. The script is original and carries you off successfully to a past era that I could easily identify with. Story told sensitively that is both moving and entertaining in equal measure. More of the same please.
