filth
A bipolar, bigoted junkie cop manipulates and hallucinates his way through the festive season in a bid to secure promotion and win back his wife and daughter.
Based on the novel by Irvine Welsh. Filth is the most provocative film of the year. Not since Trainspotting has there been a movie quite like this. James McAvoy plays Bruce Robertson, a bipolar cokehead, alcoholic, pervert cop. I couldn't think of anyone as despicable and repulsive as Robertson. James McAvoy's performance is mindblowing. Bruce Robertson joins Tom Hardy's Charles Bronson and Malcolm McDowell's Alex DeLarge in the hall of famous movie sociopaths. Filth is intense and heavy viewing. It's also incredibly funny. Starting as entertaining black comedy, then shifting tone unexpectedly into bleak and uncompromising. Filth definitely earns it's R18 rating, with extreme sexual content, drug use and brutal violence. Filth is a bloody good film, and one of the best things to come out of British cinema in quite some time.
