‘Bunny’ Review: Manic NYC East Village Tenement Comedy Goes Off The Wall In Search Of Laughs And Gets Them – SXSW
A review of 'Bunny', a comedy premiering at SXSW with ragtag ensemble and set in NYC East Village tenement.
Set in one of those run-down, mouse-infested buildings with a diverse group of tenants who look like just the kind of people Trump would love to deport, the place nevertheless is teeming with life and seemingly non-stop activity on a hot summer day that also happens to be Bunny’s birthday. At the film’s start this sometimes hustler/sex worker is seen bloodied and running frantically through the streets, even stopping for a quick change of clothes before eventually coming into his apartment where his wife Bobbie (a spirited Liza Colby) has set up the ultimate gift with a girlfriend as they plan to offer him a three-way, but he is not in the mood due to some deep trouble as we soon see when a man follows him and winds up strangled by Bunny and dead. Nicely shot by cinematographer Jackson Hunt with a constantly moving camera, Bunny has a talented leading man in Stark whose hapless expressions and preoccupation with staying alive and skirting the law keep us royally entertained along with the rest of this ragtag ensemble.
