Latest / A Tripp Through Comedy
Birthday Girl
Our exit today has us meeting our Russian bride who we met on the internet. This week, we are talking about Birthday Girl, written by Jez and Tom Butterworth and directed by Jez Butterworth.
Our ride begins with a lot of talk as to whether this movie is a comedy or not. And then, along the way, we finally get a chance to dive into the career of Nicole Kidman, along with French cinema, Mark Rylance, British theatre, dark comedies, The Coen Brothers, Fargo, delayed releases, trust falls, and plot holes. Plus, what happens when you cast a movie full of Russians with no Russian actors?
