In this Dickens adaptation, orphan Pip discovers through lawyer Mr. Jaggers that a mysterious benefactor wishes to ensure that he becomes a gentleman. Reunited with his childhood patron, Miss Havisham, and his first love, the beautiful but emotionally cold Estella, he discovers that the elderly spinster has gone mad from having been left at the altar as a young woman, and has made her charge into a warped, unfeeling heartbreaker.

I'm not a fan of Dickens and remember truly hating this book when I was in school. The plot points are still a bit fuzzy and befuddling, but at the same time this movie was so beautiful it's possible to gloss over the implausibilities.
