A drunk, washed-up poet is hired to solve a family mystery.
The main character is a highly literate pompous old fellow struggling with his own existence.
A lot of the comedy comes from him insulting people using very long words, which I found very amusing.
There is not a lot to this movie. Don't expect dramatic plot twists, edge of the seat action, moving performances or fire works of any kind.
But this film achieves what it sets out to do perfectly!
This film is gentle, interesting, funny and quite refreshing.
This is definitely a Sunday afternoon watch, but for that time slot it is perfect!
Production, acting, script are all exceptional!
This film hasn't tried to reach too far and it pays off dividends.
Watch this after your Sunday roast with a drink for a perfect afternoon.
