Morris - A Life With Bells On
A pastoral indie mockumentary, made on a shoestring by the husband-and-wife team of Lucy Akhurst and Charles Thomas Oldham, Its a success story to match that of the films protagonist, Derecq Twist (Oldham himself), a fanatical Morris practitioner whose avant-garde ideas scandalise the pompous Chief Executive of the Morris Circle (Derek Jacobi). Great, affectionate fun is had with the English folk tradition and quarrels about authenticity, and there are flourishes aplenty in the direction of Christopher Guests cod-documentaries ("Spinal Tap", "A Mighty Wind") and the Riverdance phenomenon. Above all, its funny, genial and irreverent, with some major-league thespians in supporting roles. Look out especially for Ian Hart, playing the Morris Circles enforcer - a bruiser with a heart of gold.
