Brilliant Autobio from Richard E Grant - Wah-Wah review by LA
Although it's sad he isn't in it, the casting is fabulous, with Gabriel Byrne as his Dad, and Nicholas Hoult as himself when young growing up in Swaziland. One of the first films ever shot there, and Grant's first go at directing it is remarkable, as he admits in a documentary also included on the DVD that it all worked out so well. Fantastic back up casting from a familiar team, all of whom are wonderful. Dangerous, sad, but also truthful and funny.
