it's tremendously - dare one say pretentiously - high art, circa early 60's. sleeker than a sleek cat, and moody as all get out. I just lapped it up like the aforementioned pussoire, I did!
bearing in mind it ain't a comedy. it's about grief, and the resolution of same. not sad sack, or tissue consuming at all - but still not funny. actually it's quite uplifting, as the story follows the eponymous single man's (firthy) awakening from deep deep grief, and highlights the Small Things that wake us up. gor-fucking-jus!

ReplyDeleteFirthy's getting some decent gigs, isnt he?
Haven't seen it - but it looks interesting.
