Tristram Shandy: a Cock and Bull Story (2005) short review

Kendra April 29, 2005
Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2005)

A movie within a movie, based on a book within a book (published in the 1740s).  It sort of tells the story of Tristram Shandy, but it focuses even more on the cast and crew who are making the film.  However, it’s not a documentary, and the modern bits are highly entertaining (plus it’s a who’s who of British actors).  But be warned that about 2/3 focuses on the cast/crew, and only about 1/3 on the period story.  Anyway!  Nice costumes, especially for the guys. The women’s costumes are limited (altho Gillian Anderson wears a great dark green francaise).
