Bunny and the Bull
Dir: Paul King
2008
****
Bunny and the Bull is ace. It's very much a 'Mighty Boosh' production but I'm glad Fielding and Barratt weren't the lead characters, although Hogg and Farnaby aren't as likable, they lend themselves better in cameo roles. Richard Ayoade's cameo is particularly funny. You can compere Paul King's style to many other directors and artists, I'm sure he's been influenced by Gondry, Jonze, Svankmajer etc, but the brilliant writing, the original ideas, creativity and comedy are all very much his own. Seek out this film and check out 'The Mighty Boosh' while you're at it if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed. Surreal silliness at its most creative.
