Rams

Rams (2020) is one of those intriguing oddities - an Australian remake of an Icelandic film, a blackish comedy about sheep farming. This may not sound too promising but it is rather good. The dialogue is sparse yet manages to speak volumes about the absurd nobility that makes humans tolerable. The excellent Sam Neill is on fine monosyllabic form. Miranda Richardson turns up (oddly but to predictably good effect) as an ex-pat English vet. As I say, an oddity but fun. 69/100.
