The Duke
Cast: Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren, UK, Comedy, 95 mins
Kempton Bunton [Jim Broadbent], was a real-life political agitator in the early 1960s. Notorious for challenging everything from the size of a pint at the local pub to having to pay for a television licence, his crusades against perceived injustices meant he struggled to hold down a job and also exasperated his long-suffering wife, Peggy [Helen Mirren].
Promising he’ll give up his campaigning after one last attempt at persuading those in London to wipe the TV licence fee, Kempton secretly returns home with an illegally obtained bargaining chip. Namely, Goya’s portrait of The Duke of Wellington.
To Kenton, it is a symbol of everything that’s wrong about the country’s priorities and he now has to meticulously plan how to hand it back if his demands are met.
