Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story Reviews

Ever since I saw Michael Winterbottom's directing debut, 'Butterfly Kiss', I have been faithfully following his work. I must say he has never been really popular but he has certainly been productive, making 19 movies in 16 years! Anyway, even though not everything he touches changes to gold, it is always interesting and this flick is a perfect example. Indeed, it is one of the many movies he has made with Steve Coogan and probably one of his most original work so far. I remember perfectly, I saw this movie a while back and it was on the BBC without subtitles, I had no idea what it was about and I'd really like to re-watch it at some point to make up my mind about it. Basically, it is a very experimental movie based on a very experimental book and it is almost impossible to describe it. You could say that it is some kind of comical mind-f*ck. Anyway, since I didn't know what it was about, I was confused and lost during most of the duration but it was certainly intriguing. It also depends where you stand concerning Steve Coogan. I mean, if you can't stand the guy, you probably won't enjoy it but, fortunately, I think he is really funny and it is probably his best movie I have seen so far. To conclude, it is obviously an acquired taste but I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you want to see something different.
