Sinead N @NestorTheJester Jan 2 This is a brilliant clown trope movie with a distinctly Irish sense of humour, which could be adapted brilliantly for the stage. The three main actors form comedy trio Dead Cat Bounce, as three clowns, each with their own identity crises, trying to stay regain relevance in a post-clown, post-humour digital world. After the event of a perceived Irish apocalypse, which turns out to just be a power cut, the trio set out to stop Alphonso The Great from taking over the last working transmission mast in Ireland and unleashing clownery and feral hippie children on an unsuspecting Irish public who are ill-prepared for analogue clown antics. The pure farcicality with how this film sends itself up is brilliant, with some side gags that UK critics just didn't get, hence rated it lowly. It's a very Irish pisstake and combines the darkness of a Marina Carr play with Grateful Dead psychedelia, and surrealism of Father Ted. Funzo the Clown was unforgettable too.

Great cast, particularly Funzo (Natalie Palamides) who hits on all cylinders. One can tell that the writers just had such a fun time writing this film with basically few boundaries on where the plot might go. See more Read all reviews
