An inventive and ambitious debut film feature from The Mighty Boosh director Paul King, Bunny and the Bull contains plenty of the surreal charm of the TV series. Essentially, it’s a road movie depicting the journey of an odd couple who never leave a shabby apartment, or, perhaps, a buddy movie about two people who should never be friends. Edward Hogg and Simon Farnaby are excellent as, respectively, a damaged loser haunted by a past experience and a gambling-addicted, womanising ne’er-do-well who embark on a flight most fanciful from a sofa in a mouse-infested apartment.
