Movies »Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story

tristram shandy a cock and bull storyI love Steve Coogan and I love Michael Winterbottom, but I was still not getting my hopes too high for Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, their second collaboration due to my disappointment in 24 Hour Party People.

Fortunately, there are no disappointments here, just a witty, layered, thoroughly enjoyable meta-cinema film within a film. The entire cast is wonderful including Dylan Moran of Black Books, the extremely funny Rob Brydon, and of course, Coogan, as they play both actors in the modern day trying to adapt the unfilmable 18th century novel Tristram Shandy and the characters in that movie.

One of the most clever and entertaining movies of the last year.
