A Cock and Bull Story

Michael Winterbottom’s witty take on Laurence Sterne’s classic stars Steve Coogan as Sterne’s eponymous hero and as Steve Coogan, a vain actor with a roving eye…and a sweet wife and baby in tow. Coogan encounters temptation on the set of the film of ‘Tristram Shandy’. Meanwhile, the rest of the cast and crew try to do justice to the notoriously complex novel.
