Bunny and the Bull is a masterpiece and it genuinely might be the best film I've ever watched. The visuals, the characters, the music and the story are all truly beautiful. The way the sets are used like a scrapbook and memory is conveyed through the physical fabric of each scene is genius and it changed the way I view film as a medium.
I read somewhere that Simon Farnaby (of Stupid Deaths fame) avoids dramatic roles because people don't take him seriously, but I'd like to have a quick word with those folks because he absolutely shines in this. I'm still reeling from the fact that the Mighty Boosh gang managed to pull off such an incredibly heartfelt and emotional story - who knew they had the range?! It deals with mental illness and grief in a very sensitive and thoughtful way, especially for a comedy made in 2009. The ending made me weep.
I'm actually angry that nobody seems to know about this film, it should be a cult classic.
