An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn

In one word , i¡d say "interesting" .. It starts in a really weird way -- a bit slow but then things starts to get crazy .. oh .. crazier .. and more tense.

The plot goes around an idiots village filled with these socially awkward people .. i actually felt uncomfortable for a while before the comedy kicks in.

The casting is WoW,, i literally knew all the leads and co-leads .. from Aubrey Plaza to Craig Robinson, Jemaine Clement and Matt Berry (from the IT crowd :D) ...

Was it a perfect easily digestible comedy ,, nope ,, it was unusual and very weird it becomes a bit enjoyable right at the end.

Not a lot to say really... Probably one the strangest films I've ever seen but that's by no means a bad thing! A great cast, locations and music. Little lacking in the story department but don't let that put you off - just give it a watch for Jemaine Clement and Matt Berry!

//Revelation Film Festival Review//

An absurdist comedy from the mind behind The Greasy Strangler, Jim Hoskings' sophomore effort is the cinematic equivalent of a joke without a punchline. It sits on the screen awkwardly and bereft of purpose, moving from one stilted scene to the next. While it would be easy to dismiss the film early on, Hosking proves himself in complete control over his style as he revels in the awkwardness to increasingly effective result.

The story follows a woman (played by Aubrey Plaza) stuck in a disagreeable marriage. After a botched murder attempt on her husband she decides to run away with a hitman to an old motel where an old flame of hers, Beverley Luff Linn, is performing for "one magical night only". So ensues a number of bizarre occurrences, many of which defy explanation, leading up to the special night.

Craig Robinson is the standout as the titular Luff Linn, a mysterious performer who communicates in a series of grunts to comical effect. The film is certainly one of the stranger films showing at the Revelation Film Festival and it won't be for everyone but attune to its wavelength and there are laughs to be found in the inanity.

Mmm mmMM mmmmmmm Mmmmmm. Mmmmmmm Mm m MMM! MMM Mmmmmm. Mmm, mmmmm m, mmmmmmm... MMM! Mmmm. Mm mm Mmmm mmmmmmm! Mmm mm mmmmm mmm mmmmm mmmmm... Mmmm mm Mmmmmm Mmmm mmm mm m. Mmmm mmmmm.... Mmmmm..... Mmm? Mmmmm... Mmm m mmm??! Mmmm... Mmmm mmm m mmm m...

I've wondered over the past few days whether this film is awful, or possibly my favourite film of the last 5 years. I'm leaning towards the latter.
