Film Dope


How to Get Ahead in Advertising

1989

Bruce Robinson
Director

What starts off as a ruthless satire on the advertising industry loses its way as a broad horror comedy but ultimately redeems itself at the end. Richard E. Grant's opening tirade is worth the price of admission. If your sensibilities match the film - its brilliant!
