Also, I spent the rest of the evening doing the WORST Cockney accent you've ever heard.
You should watch it. It expires in a week.
And I know I’ve said it before, but I fucking love Jonathan Glazer.
No, no, no, no, no! (Warning: Clip contains graphic language and violence from a magnificent film)
It says a lot that I went to a bloody theatre to see this film when it was released. That’s significant because unless we’re dating and I want to seem like the world’s best girlfriend? I do not see films in the theatre. You know, what with the loud folks and the fatties and the loud fatties.
I couldn’t wait for its theatrical release, I was that big of a Jonathan Glazer fan. But, says my imaginary reader, this was his first film. How could you be a fan? Ah, gentle imaginary reader, I was a fan of his music videos, which were some of the best I’ve seen.
So yes, watch it on Hulu or rent it. Ben Kingsley is brilliant in it, so much so that Jim Broadbent winning the Best Supporting Oscar that year is on a par with Rocky winning over Taxi Driver.
Oh, and Glazer’s second film, Birth, singlehandedly changed my mind about Nicole Kidman as an actress. I still find her forehead creepy, though.
