A Cock and Bull Story
- Comedy
- History
Steve Coogan, an arrogant actor with low self-esteem and a complicated love life, is playing the eponymous role in an adaptation of "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" being filmed at a stately home. He constantly spars with actor Rob Brydon, who is playing Uncle Toby and believes his role to be of equal importance to Coogan's.
A Cock and Bull Story is a 2005 comedy film starring Steve Coogan as an arrogant actor adapting Laurence Sterne's classic novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. The film follows Coogan's clashes with co-star Rob Brydon on set at a stately home, blending period drama with behind-the-scenes comedy. It's a clever, meta take on adaptation and ego in filmmaking.
