Review of Bunny and the Bull (2009) by Bjarte H — 08 May 2010
If you love the nonsensical musings of the Mighty Boosh, then this is film for you. Boosh director, Paul King, has constructed an interesting visual take on the tale of the lonely Stephen and his horrid constantly eating best friend Bunny- using illustrations of various kind to form the background of their travels across Europe. The film does start slow but it builds and is worth the wait by the end. The biggest mystery in the film is why the two men are friends in the first place but the fact that Stephen is very passive and Bunny is very overpowering it is an understandable power relationship.Most Boosh regulars appear (though in the case of Rich Fulcher only as a highly entertaining answering machine) and the scenes with Julian Barratt's Eastern European homeless dog lover are some of the most hiliarious in the film.
If you find the Boosh strange and offputting, you are likely to find this the same. It doesn't play in a logical straight forward fashion and if that is what you want this isn't for you.
Being a Boosh fan, I recommend the film but only to other Boosh fans.
