NOTHING
Released by Kaleidoscope Film. Out now to buy.
Rik Mayall is at his arrogant best as the cleverest man in Britain Professor Adonis Cnut (pronounced Ca-newt), written by the fantastic team of Lawrence Marks and Maurice Gran (responsible for such classics as Shine on Harvey Moon, Birds of a Feather and
Mayalls own New Statesman.
Cnut thirsts for new challenges to engage his mind and as such finds himself drafted into the somewhat shadowy organisation
The Council for International Progress a team of 13 people who actually control the world, however Adonis (who considers himself irresistible to women) spends most of his time lusting after his colleague Dr Hannah Awkward (played by Emily Bruni). Supporting Mayall is the wonderful Michael Maloney as Cnuts aide de camp Albumen
(Maloneys performance is a highlight throughout) and Don Warrington as head of
The Council
Believe Nothing is very very clever with funny dialogue and a great line in double entendres. |
