Tristram Shandy REVIEW BY JUAN MANUEL RODRÍGUEZ DE SOUSA
SYNOPSIS
free adaptation of the classic novel of the eighteenth century "Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy" by Laurence Sterne, the chaotic story begins with the protagonist novel recounting his life. The stories of childhood are constantly interrupted by Tristram family and domestic service, and above all, by the narrative voice of the protagonist, with more emphasis stripping the personality of the protagonist than any conventional autobiography.
The dramatic moment of Tristram's birth, the assistant director shouts "Cut!", Signaling the end of the session shooting, and that's when we see Steve Coogan, the other actors and technicians during a chaotic evening on set, being when the life of the actors are intertwined with that of characters. They are the problems of director, screenwriter, other supporting actors, in short, the work can be glimpsed between film racks.

CRITICAL
Today I am here to talk a very strange film. Tristram Shandy is a collection of funny situations, shrill and ridiculous. It is something grotesque, seasoned with a touch of nostalgia and sex that make a little less boring than it is. For the record, I'm not saying it's a boring movie moments by the lack of "comic" but, on the contrary, the excess of these "moments & # 8221; that smother the viewer and not let him go weak frames that were wielded in the film.
Without doubt, it is noted that the difficulties in translating literary works to the film came to be real. But this can not be an excuse for cover when a film project, taking into account that an adjustment is always difficult, it is unforgivable that even copying the "idea" for lack of imagination, they will come over and throw the blame on the writer who wrote the play when the eggs hatched chickens.
However, I do not think they have missed work over, but I think you have left the original flow properly. It feels a fear of appearing too hurtful, sordid and confusing, and is precisely in these attempts (few) when all falls apart. So I do not think Michael Winterbottom, the director, and Martin Hardy, screenwriter, deserve thunderous applause, but no doubt that the product end would be different (do not know if better or worse) if another director would have dared to the project. His greatest achievement, in short, has been to give some order to chaos.
Instead, I think the greatest merit lies in the actors. Highlight the protagonist, Steve Coogan, who made a fairly accurate interpretation, without being more, and to comply with the mandate. Also of note, and above all, to cooprotagonista, Rob Brydon, who has been great, much better than its companion, which appears Rob is Rob the protagonist, the Master the scene and the master of a style they like and have fun. The other actors, though far from correct Coogan and Brydon.
A film that seems to be the level achieved in the previous production of Michael Winterbottom: 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE which also chose Coogan as an actor, it seems that both make a good couple and that Steve is a good performer Winterbottom's ideas.
And in short, is a film that is boring at first, exciting at times, decadent ... A film that love, disappointment and love again, with too many ups and downs to be regarded as "classical" or the taste of today's consumer. Bold, fresh, naughty and silly. Recommended for an evening with friends, for all those connected to the cinema for more than enjoy, this book should be interesting, and of course, do not leave anyone indifferent.
