Our take
Directed by Bruce Robinson and starring British national treasure Richard E. Grant, this wickedly dark comedy reunites the creative team behind Withnail & I. Deliciously high concept in its Cronenbergian set-up, How to Get Ahead in Advertising is a spirited satire of yuppie culture and the ’80s man.
