Title: offbeat dialogue
Review: I happened to see "I went down" on French cable TV and loved it. I guess you would categorize it as a comedy crime caper movie. A triumph of underplaying by Peter McDonald. The best thing is the dialogue, sharply observed, offbeat and deadpan. Paddy Breathnacht delivers the story in a series of chapters with witty titles. Seemingly pointless snippets of dialogue are unforgettable:GIRL: Do you ever talk?GIT: yer...GIRL: What sort of things do you say?GIT: I say things like, shall we go to the shops?...Or the conversation between Bunny and Git about America...wonderful!Brendon Gleeson's part is very similar to his role in "the General".Having searched unsuccessfully for DVD version, I had to order a second hand VHS from a store in the US, fortunately it works find on my (French) multistandard vhs player.
