MMGN:
Believe it or not, Oxford graduate Tom Hooper, director of highly acclaimed biographical drama The King's Speech has been more accustomed in the past to making a television miniseries than a full-length feature film. Whilst the form and content of his projects across both film and television realms have shared similarities, namely falling into genres of drama and biography, Hooper's filmography is surprisingly small. After his success at the Oscars this year, however, one could only imagine what's next on the horizon for the director.

I thought his Les Miserables was a little overbearing. I actually enjoy the non-musical adaptation from the 1990's more.
