(Bunny and the Bull)
Paul King / GB, 2009
English version / Czech subtitles, 95 min
Stephen (Edward Hogg) hasn't left his house in months, since a disastrous trip around Europe with his best friend Bunny (Simon Farnaby). When an infestation of mice throws Stephen's obsessive domestic routine into chaos, he starts to reflect on the adventure that his pal concocted, allegedly to help Stephen recover from a broken heart. But Bunny's idea of a rollicking good time proved at odds with Stephen's yen for cultural improvement and interest in delights such as The German Museum of Cutlery, and inevitably before long things took a turn for the bizarre. Having picked up a charmingly superstitious waitress en route, they were soon hanging out with colourful 'characters' including a terrifying dog-loving tramp (Julian Barratt) and a booze sodden ex-matador (Noel Fielding)… Stephen re-lives the journey through his extraordinary collection of carefully catalogued ephemera, creating a psychedelic landscape of snapshots and souvenirs, mixing live action and animation as the mood takes. Described by its producers as 'Withnail & I for the mentally ill', it is also a touching story of friendship and love, and a road movie quite unlike any other.
