Talking to Director Bharat Nalluri About The Man Who Invented Christmas

Director Bharat Nalluri says that in a very personal way, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol taught him the meaning of Christmas. His new film, The Man Who Invented Christmas, is the story of the six weeks Dickens, under enormous professional, financial, and family pressure, wrote and published the book, which sold out its entire printing within a week after publication. Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Beauty and the Beast) plays the author and Christopher Plummer plays the Scrooge he imagines as he creates the story.
