The man who inspired my mother's belief that I'm going to run off with an Irishman is making another appearance on the blog. This time in a short film from 2006, Tell It to the Fishes. Dylan plays Finn, a 'low rent hood' who has just been dropped on the shore, with his feet set in cement. The 10 minute- and some short beautifully displays the thin line between comedy and tragedy, and Dylan Moran just waltzes all around that motherfucking line. He's said it himself "I'm a dancer, it can't be contained."
In other words: Dylan Moran's portrayal of a bum who is going to die within a matter of hours–and knows it– is sooo hysterically tragic. Well done, sir.
Watch it. It's only ten minutes and you'll enjoy it, I promise.
Much love. x
