I'm glad you enjoyed this morsel of Hans footage!
On the one hand I was happy to finally find a snippet of Christmas, on the other hand - after watching it - I'm all the more sorry about not being able to watch the entire movie. But maybe there comes a time when it's on youtube.
Here's a preview and a review, both published in The Independent:
Gerard Gilbert
Saturday, 31 August 1996
More original is Jez and Tom Butterworth's Christmas, the first of three made-for-television dramas by new British filmmakers. These dramas are gathered together under an umbrella called Talentspotting (Sun C4), which plays on the title of the recent Brit-movie smash Trainspotting and gives an indication of what the commissioning editors are looking out for. In fact the milieu of Christmas - petty criminality in London's Kings Cross - is very Irvine Welsh. The Butterworth brothers have a good ear for dialogue, though, and it's inventively filmed by tyro-director Marc Munden.
Steven Poole
Monday, 2 September 1996
Christmas (Sun C4), an off-beat hour in the new Talentspotting strand (check out the Welsh allusion), looked more imaginative. Director Marc Munden revelled in upside-down shots, too-tight close-ups and those 1960s scene changes involving horizontal whizzings of colourful blobs. The crackling script, by Jez Butterworth (who wowed some critics with Mojo at the Royal Court last year) and his brother Tom, was full of concealed-menace Tarantino- esque riffs on the merits of goose versus turkey, the height of a man, or whips.
But it too often descended into Mamet circa Oleanna: dialogue full of irritating ellipses and meaningful pauses. And the story? Boy working for King's Cross villain, whom he worships, is told to kill said villain or established, more powerful villain will kill boy's brother. So boy kills villain. The end. Christmas may have been clever, but the traditional thrills of Truth or Dare showed a more mature respect for the audience. Even a silly story's better than none at all.
