A very different film from both the genius earlier collaborations between coogan and Winterbottom- 24 hour party people and Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story– this is closer to the my dinner with andre two people (men) talking genre
Amazing impersonations from Brydon and Coogan—Caine, Connery, Richard Burton, Woody Allen
Genuine pathos slowly achieved- it’s really a nice unambitious archiveable film
Chapter day breaks
Hilarious traits from Coogan- he’s obsessed with having a nicer room than Brydon
Not sure about the surrealism
Great formal symmetry here with landscapes, food, and wine—but not only that- comparisons between the two men, exterior laughs and interior pain
