Adam and Paul
2004
And you thought you
were having a bad day
Billed as "Laurel & Hardy on heroin in Dublin",
‘Adam
and Paul’ is a stylized, downbeat comedy about
two lifelong friends who have withered into two
hapless, but harmless, desperate Dublin junkies,
tied together by habit and necessity. The film
follows the pair through a single day, which,
like every other, is entirely devoted to the
business of scrounging and robbing money for
drugs. The difference today is that Adam and
Paul – already near rock bottom – have finally
run out of luck, credit and friends.
‘Adam and Paul’ it is not a film without hope;
it is a tender, unsentimental and funny
testament to the persistence of the human spirit
in even the most damaged and marginal of people. |
