The Trip

British director Michael Winterbottom reunites for the third time with British comedian Steve Coogan with this mockumentary where he lets Coogan and fellow comedian Rob Brydon loose on a trip. Coogan and Brydon play a version of themselves on a trip of fine restaurants in Northern England which starts friendly before they get on each others nerves with their idiosyncrasies. There are some hilarious moments including some impersonations on British actors specially Michael Caine amongst others. Winterbottom and Coogan cleverly blur the line between fiction and nonfiction. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
