Who's the best at coughing and swearing?

Why, Dylan Moran is of course!

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
