I imported (to Brisbane, Australia) the UK DVD of History Boys, knowing that any Alan Bennett film on this topic must be good - but I am extremely impressed. The humour was just as effective on the third viewing - and the dialogue is so precise and inventively delivered that you need three viewings to feel you've taken it all in. The direction is as good as the acting and all these actors are the best (they deserve an ensemble cast Golden Globe). We see the cinematic release here in May 2007 and I will be there with bells on for the big screen experience. History Boys is a richly rewarding, highly entertaining, cultural adventure.
