Matthew Macfadyen

Logan Mountstuart writer, hopeless love, self-centered of the century, through his life as William Boyd, author of the novel open book: The Diary of Mountstuart Logan, decided to immerse the player in this “adventure” and then the viewer, as he is responsible for the adaptation, broadcast by Channel 4.
To embody this man, it takes at least three Sam Claflin for his young age, Matthew Macfadyen, to the great period, and Jim Broadbent for the final stretch. Logan tells us about himself, does not stay all my life the same person, and on this principle, his face changes and his personality is shaped according to his many experiences have given their lives seems like a roller coaster in which the happiness and tragedy alternates. Good luck or bad luck, as is his vision of life, but only lucky.
The story opens with a young Logan, who thinks the most to lose his virginity to do something concrete for its existence, and certainly sets the basis for the character with too much force. Hard to start then take place, but that will bring us more the central character, but we do get in touch with her two best friends, Peter and Ben, and what motivates Logan in life: sex and to some extent, money.
Mountstuart Logan (1906-1991) went through the twentieth century, but the trip ended up taking turns too anecdotal, in which key moments stand out, but the lack of overall strength in the spring. As a part of the life of his character, the human heart does not show very exciting and keeps mostly to the track thanks to the talent that came to give life to the series.
