HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING

Synopsis

Nobody dupes consumers better than Dennis Bagley (Richard E. Grant). The very model of success, his genius in crafting seductive ad campaigns has earned him a country estate, countless awards, an admiring boss and a loving wife (Rachel Ward, The Thorn Birds). However Dennis can’t come up with a slogan to sell a revolutionary new pimple cream and is so tormented and filled with self-loathing after years of promoting dubious products that his inner demon, the media-savvy and profiteering side of himself, has manifested itself as a talking pustule with a mind (and a face and a voice) of its own. Dennis quits his job and rebels against society at large, only to find his evil boil growing dominant.

This fiendishly funny film reunites Bruce Robinson with Richard E. Grant, the talented team behind the cult classic Withnail and I to create an unforgettably satirical assault on British culture.
