Its 1987 and two bagmen lay low in the countryside whilst mad cow disease spreads throughout the countryside. First feature from Brendan McNamee selected for the Raindance film festival Review: 1987, BSE spreads across the country, a mystical Harmonic Convergence is predicted and two bagmen travel to the country to bury their loot and lay low for a while. What transpires blurs every line of reality, character and narrative. Brendan McNamees first feature looks like its going to be another brit-gangster movie as two men in suits dig a hole for their ill-gotten gains; but soon McNamee takes the surreal bull by the horns and sends Gill and Rokit on a seemingly unstoppable journey to their ultimate destinies. Drums, bulls, Greek theatre, a Star wars quilt, a smoking rabbit and milk, lots and lots of milk. Maybe if David Lynch had remade The Wicker Man it would have looked something like this. McNamee makes brave choices with sound and camera throughout, sometimes music takes precedence over dialogue; sometimes the timeframe of the film is disjointed by abrupt edits and drifting camera; sometimes this reviewer hadnt the faintest idea what was going on, but I always WANTED to know.
