A Testament of Youth
Filmmaking on a grand scale as Radcliffe Square is transformed into a pre-war vision of Vera Brittain’s ‘A Testament of Youth’. The scene centred on Alicia Vikander (playing the lead) arm-in-arm with Joanna Scanlan, a regular on British television screens, walking past All Souls College, surrounded by an army of extras and vintage vehicles. It beats Lewis.
