tristram shandy: a cock and bull story

god, why haven't i yet learnt not to expect too much from my heroes? or not to trust the promises of a well edited trailer?

i can't help but address this film in a really patronising way:
"aw guys, i can see what you tried to do. really well done, you tried so hard and i bet you learned a lot for when you make your first real movie."

i hate myself. i should be praising them for making the film they wanted to make. i genuinely admired the sentiment, the upsetting of a genre, the collaborators... it just felt a bit too self-indulgent. damn it.

4/10
