5.0 out of 5 stars
funniest movie you've never heard of, January 26, 2007
This review is from: No Surrender [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is one of my all-time favorite black comedies, but very obscure. Ray McAnally (played the bishop in The Mission) and Bernard Hill (played the captain in Titanic) spar in an alice-in-wonderland nightmare night as catholic and protestant groups are booked simultaneous in a outskirts-urban nightclub in Ireland for New Years Eve. I think it's brilliant but I should warn you, I've played it for a few people who stared in silence. In the tradition of older, 1950s English black comedies and parlor comedies but with the black humor element turned way up for the 80s. It also makes a statement about ethnic prejudice and the grim results which is timeless and timely in 2007, twenty years later.
