IHRE BEWERTUNG

Maxine Peake plays the gritty role of 'Funny Cow,' a comedian who breaks through the glass ceiling of the all-male 1970s comedy circuit to rise to stardom. Set against the backdrop of working men's clubs in the North of England, 'Funny Cow' is both a love-letter to a bygone era and the defiant story of a woman who refuses to give up her dreams.

Wissenswertes
Loosely based on the life and career of British comedienne Marti Caine.

Patzer
Paddy Considine's character says "the whole nine yards" which is an Americanism barely used in England today, and unheard of in the 1970s.

Zitate
[last lines]
Funny Cow: You see, it's been too much for me, life. Too much and not enough. All at the same time. Listen to me going on, eh?

Crazy Credits
Vic Reeves (Jim Moir), who plays a cabaret performer in the film, nods to his recording of 'Born Free' in 1991 with 'Vic Reeves and The Roman Numerals' which reached number 6 in the UK singles chart

A challenging view of the 70s stand up scene

I've thought about this film more after seeing it than any other film I can remember. There are great performances from the central cast, and some amusing cameos, but I was drawn more to the story of Funny Cow's life. Some of it made uncomfortable watching, but I think that was the whole point.
