A rollicking, inventive adaptation of the notoriously unfilmable 18th century British comic novel The Life and Opinions of Tristam Shandy, Gentleman, written by Laurence Sterne. Skipping back and forth between the 18th century and the efforts of 21st-century filmmakers attempting to shoot the classic, the film stays true to the manic spirit of the book. Narrated by Tristram Shandy (Steve Coogan) the story focuses on his life from conception onward, with numerous digressions and unfished throughts. Crammed with literary jokes and dark humor, Shandy's warped tales reveal far more than any conventional autobiography.
