Flickers

Lights, camera, action—the golden era of the silent film returns in this quirky miniseries. Arnie (Bob Hoskins, Mrs. Henderson Presents, Enemy at the Gates) dreams of becoming a movie mogul; Maud (Frances de la Tour, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Rising Damp) is his unlikely partner. As they make their way through a wacky world of eccentric investors, egotistical actors and other oddballs, they try to keep their fledgling business afloat— and even manage to find romance. Alternately hilarious and poignant, Flickers is an unforgettable trip behind the scenes in the days before pictures could talk.
