Bunny & The Bull
Sep 17 - Sep 23, 2010
(Paul King, UK, 2010, 35mm, 101 min)
Seattle Premiere
Written and directed by The Mighty Boosh director Paul King, Bunny and the Bull is one of the most original and charismatic films to come out of Britain in recent years.
Stephen Turnbull hasn't been outside in months. When a sudden infestation of mice forces him to abandon his routine, he finds his mind hurtling back to the eventful trek around Europe he undertook with his friend Bunny. Using whatever objects are within easy reach in Stephen's flat—clay models, metallic gears and old souvenirs—Stephen undertakes a surrealistic journey, paying homage to both the works of Michel Gondry, Terry Gilliam and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
"King has the same kind of olde worlde, amateur-hour aesthetic as Wes Anderson and Michel Gondry, and his papier mâché/metalwork figures and landscapes are used to increasingly charming effect. " —This Is London
