Timed to honour the 100th anniversary of Burton’s birth, MR BURTON is the true story of a volatile but gifted teen from post-war Wales—and the teacher who changed his life forever. When Philip Burton, a principled schoolteacher, recognises the spark of genius in a working-class boy named Richie Jenkins, he helps transform him into the actor the world would come to know as Richard Burton.
Set against a beautifully realised backdrop of post-war Wales, MR BURTON is a powerful portrait of mentorship, identity, and artistic legacy. With stunning performances and richly cinematic storytelling, the film is perfect for lovers of prestige British cinema, biographical dramas, and stories that stir the soul.
