"Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story." Thank God, a film taken

Posted by tinear (A) on March 17, 2007 at 16:37:21

from the classic novel. I've tried to read this book through to the end, unsuccessfully, for thirty years or so. Now, at last, I have some closure on the work, incomplete as the film is.
This is a witty, brilliantly acted, and cleverly filmed effort.
You know, the type of film that Hollywood used to be able to make about forty years ago.
I know a film is good when I wish to see other films which contain even the tangential characters.
The assembled cast is a wonder to behold, from top to bottom.
Like "The French Lieutenant's Woman," this is a film about making a film with parallel stories of the actors' private lives and super-production relationships.
Did I mention this is the funniest film I've seen in ages?
This film should have the success the vastly inferior "Borat" garnered (and I did enjoy Borat, just not as much as some here...).
