Filth (2013) Movie Review: Unpleasant Squalor, Darkly Funny
Welcome, fellow cinephiles, to the twisted world of "Filth" (2013). Prepare yourselves for a mind-bending rollercoaster of emotions, a film that will leave you questioning your sanity and possibly your life choices. In this scathingly dark comedy, Paul and Samir delve into the depths of depravity, armed with their wit and sarcasm, to dissect this cinematic gem for your pleasure. So buckle up, folks, and let's take a wild ride through the seedy underbelly of Edinburgh!
👀 Paul has seen the film already and he loved it. He thinks it's a brilliant satire of the human condition, with a twisted sense of humour and a stellar performance by McAvoy. He also likes the soundtrack, which features songs by David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and The Clash. 🎵
🙈 Samir has never seen the film before and he’s not sure what to expect. He’s heard that it’s very disturbing, violent, and vulgar. He’s also not a fan of Scottish accents, which he finds hard to understand. He hopes that there will be subtitles. 🤞
🎥 We’re going to watch the film together and then share our thoughts with you live on YouTube. Will we agree or disagree? Will we laugh or cry? Will we be shocked or bored? Tune in and find out! 😎
🎬 The Plot:
Picture this: Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson (played by the ever-capable James McAvoy), a charmingly repugnant, morally bankrupt protagonist, navigates a twisted world of corruption, drugs, and depravity. Set against the backdrop of a murder investigation, Bruce stops at nothing to sabotage his colleagues, all while battling his own inner demons. Prepare for a narrative that unravels like a tangled ball of yarn, leading you down dark alleys and morally ambiguous paths. It's a journey you won't soon forget!
💀 The Unsettling Characters:
Let's take a moment to appreciate the delightfully twisted ensemble that populates "Filth." From the enigmatic Bladesey (played by Eddie Marsan), a co-worker harbouring a secret, to the seductive yet sinister Carole (played by Shirley Henderson), each character adds a unique layer to this sordid tale. These individuals are like toxic spices, enhancing the already heady concoction of deviance and debauchery.
🎭 A Dark Carnival of Themes:
"Filth" peels back the layers of societal facade, exposing the ugliness that lurks within us all. It explores themes of corruption, addiction, mental health, and the relentless pursuit of power, leaving us to question our own moral compass. This film doesn't hold back in its exploration of the darkest corners of the human psyche, revealing that sometimes the line between good and evil is blurred beyond recognition.
