Bunny And The Bull (2009)

This surreal film is written and directed by Paul King, the director of The Mighty Boosh TV series. The story concerns Stephen (Edward Hogg), a recluse for the past year whose days are precisely-timed routines. One day his pattern is disrupted by unforeseen circumstances and he is forced to remember the past events that lead him to this point. He reminisces about the trip he took through Europe with his friend Bunny (Simon Farnaby), a party guy who likes to drink and pick up women. In the course of the trip they come across many interesting people including an unforgettable hobo (Julian Barratt) who likes to drink dog milk. They also meet Eloise, a young Spanish woman (VerĂ³nica Echegui) who hitches a ride with them back to Spain. Always the gambler, Bunny bets that he can fight a bull, and gets lessons from Eloise's brother (Noel Fielding). However, this may be one wager that he can't win.

Available: Netflix, Amazon
