Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

CHANNEL 4, 11.05PM ★★★★★

Eight Oscars, seven Baftas and four Golden Globes cemented Danny Boyle’s energetic adaptation of Vikas Swarup’s novel Q&A as a British triumph. The chaotic beauty of Mumbai is exuberantly brought to life to tell the story of an uneducated orphan (an endearing performance from Dev Patel) from the slums who is on the verge of winning a fortune on the Hindi version of

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
