Grant and Helena Bonham Carter star in this satiric comedy about an advertising man who one day decides he's wasting his life and wants to devote himself to the higher calling of poetry, much to the puzzlement of those around him, while trying to maintain a relationship with a beautiful woman who works in his old office. Based on the novel Keep The Aspidistra Flying by George Orwell. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A Merry War is about the most important education of all - the education of the heart.

Audience Reviews for A Merry War (Keep the Aspidistra Flying)

(***): I found this to be funny, in that dry British wit way. If you enjoy British humor, you should see this film.
