Bunny and the Bull is a road film set entirely in Stephen Turnbull's (Edward Hogg) house- he hasn't left his house in a year, when some mice cause havoc on his daily routine he finds his mind going back to a disastrous trip around Europe he had with his fried Bunny (Simon Farnaby) and as the story goes on, the more real it is for Stephen. He goes back to when he was first going to tell Melanie how he finally felt about her but she put him in the friends zone so Bunny helps make him happy again by taking him on a road trip around Europe, they gamble on a horse and win £2,500 to pay for the trip. Along the way they meet some very interesting characters, Atilla (Julian Barratt) a dog loving tramp, Javier (Noel Fielding) an alcoholic ex matador, a dull tour guide (Richard Ayoade) and Eloisa (Veronica Echegui) a superstitious waitress with whom Bunny and Stephen start a relationship with. Later on in the film Bunny tries on a matador suit which he wasn't allowed to touch, and lost it gambling with a gypsy so the two friends argue causing Bunny to go fight an actual bull causing his death.
Since then Stephen has never left the house. A hallucination of Bunny tells him to go ring Eloisa so he gives her a call and at the end of the film he leaves his house for the first time in a year.
The way director Paul King has made this film is actually remarkable. The mise en scene is beautiful, the way the props have been made and the way the actors really get into the film works well together. No one has ever seen a house made out of milktrays before and Paul King done the impossible! It's amazing.
Fleurnoire11 on twitter says 'it's heartbreaking, but it's a truly wonderful and brilliant film. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to any boosh fan' so if you are a boosh fan, this has been recommended for you, it's an amazing an eccentric film that I'm sure you'll enjoy.
