A Cock and Bull Story
“Because everyone loves an accurate period piece.”
Comedy
Steve Coogan, an arrogant actor with low self-esteem and a complicated love life, is playing the eponymous role in an adaptation of "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" being filmed at a stately home. He constantly spars with actor Rob Brydon, who is playing Uncle Toby and believes his role to be of equal importance to Coogan's.
VIBE
A hilariously meta and self-aware romp through the absurdities of filmmaking. Expect witty banter, ego clashes, and a delightful deconstruction of storytelling itself. It's a film that knows it's a film, and revels in it.
