Knives Out (2019)
Knives Out is a classic whodunnit. No, that's not right. Knives Out is a brilliant comedy whodunnit.
With a cast of thoroughly unlikeable characters, and a scattering of ones who are not, this riotous tale of who murdered the murder-mystery writer is a joy to watch. The actors are chewing the scenery with more gusto than a nest of termites, there are red herrings and Chekhov's guns popping up at every turn, and in the centre of it all is the victim's nurse. A young lady, still living with her kid sister and her mother and possessing a most unusual physiological response, she is the glue of the film.
Throw in a private consulting detective a la Sherlock Holmes, and a police trooper who is a fan of both the writer and the detective, and you have a bubbling cauldron of personalities that delight at every turn.
It would be not unfair to compare it with Clue and Murder By Death, my two gold standards of comedy whodunnit, and it compares very well indeed.

Every bastard is making this now. 6 months ago I'd never heard of it, now it's a standard breakfast :)
ReplyDeleteWe've been making it for years!
ReplyDeletecan you please post the recipe? looks yummo!
ReplyDeletePretty simple, really.
ReplyDeleteA tin of tomatoes (chopped is easiest), a good sized dollop of tomato paste (2tbspn ish), a chopped onion. 1-2 tspn each ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika. Salt, pepper. Cook in a frypan until hot and bubbling. Add to this chopped chorizo and/or feta. When well heated, make two wells and crack an egg into each. Cook until the eggs are set. Serve with toast. We've added some stringed zucchini to this one. Serves 2.
