About this deal

here, the film seems to ask whether ‘going places’ is the same as ‘going to a place’. The first is a perpetual cycle. Sisyphus is going places, it’s just that the route is quite up and down.” If anyone was up to the task of writing a definitive analysis of the 2003 Gwyneth Paltrow cabin crew dramedy film 'View From The Top' I am mildly confused as to why Richard Ayoade thought it could be him. 👓 If you like your humour high class and silly this book is for you. It's short (like this review) but you really need to pay attention and in all honesty it was the perfect length for what it contained and talked about.

The book itself is a parody of high-brow interviews with film directors. It probably helps if you've taken a film studies class or two in college, as the satire of this writing style is pretty spot on. Ayoade's interviews are totally ridiculous, however, and this is not a book to read if you want to learn anything purely factual about him. The constant absurdism does raise the question of whether there's anything true in the book, even on a metaphorical level. I think the answer is yes.

Ayoade has written three comedic film–focused books: Ayoade on Ayoade: A Cinematic Odyssey (2014), The Grip of Film (2017), and Ayoade on Top (2019).

The book form of Richard Ayoade is terrible due to the fact that the pedantry can't be lifted by Richard's usual deadpan performance. I liked him in the IT Crowd but less so on comedy quiz shows. a b Pelley, Rich (14 September 2019). "Richard Ayoade: 'I'm even more humble than people expect' ". The Guardian. ISSN 0261-3077 .

And this isn’t the first time that the deconstruction of one-on-one interviews has taken center stage in Ayoade’s work. There is a clear line from his 2006 comedy series Man to Man with Dean Learner, a satire of late night talk shows and spinoff of Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place. Ayoade highlights extreme pretention coupled with mediocrity and how that combination results in egomaniacism. Ayoade On Ayoade expands that basic theme into a predominantly humorous illustration of the cult of celebrity that rules entertainment. There is a distinct ring of truth to Director-Ayoade’s confession: “Eventually I’d like to see the interviews replace the directing because I’m becoming increasingly frustrated by the gaps between junkets. The prospect of needing to make a whole film before a stranger tapes my thoughtless utterances and uses them as the basis for a speculative, semi-hostile character portrait makes me very sad.” Ayoade has frequently appeared on panel shows, most prominently on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, and served as a team captain on Was It Something I Said? (2013). He presented the factual shows Gadget Man (2013–2015), its spin-off Travel Man (2015–2019), and the revival of The Crystal Maze (2017-2020). He has also voiced characters in a number of animated projects, including the films The Boxtrolls (2014), Early Man (2018), The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019), Soul (2020), and The Bad Guys (2022), as well as the series Strange Hill High (2013–2014), Apple & Onion (2018–2021), Disenchantment (2021), and Krapopolis (2023–present). This week, it was the turn of Richard Ayoade to face the Two Minutes Hate of the trans-activist mob. On Psycho] "Much of the film’s significance is summed up in a single visual metaphor, making use again of eyes, occurring at the film’s focal point (the murder of Marion): the astonishing cut from the close-up of the water and blood spiralling down the drain, to the close-up of the eye of the dead girl, with the camera spiralling outward from it. It is as if we have emerged from the depths behind the eye, the round hole of the drain leading down into an apparently bottomless darkness, the potentialities for horror that lie in the depths of us all, and which have their source in sex, which the remainder of the film is devoted to sounding.”

Channel 4 shelves final episode of Full English". British Comedy Guide. 17 December 2012 . Retrieved 6 March 2018. After appearing in Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding's radio series The Boosh, Ayoade was part of the original cast of Barratt and Fielding's The Mighty Boosh television show. He was originally selected to play the role of dangerous villain Dixon Bainbridge. However, by the time the radio series transferred to television he was under contract by Channel 4 and was only able to act in the pilot before leaving The Boosh. The part was taken by fellow Darkplace actor and eventual IT Crowd co-star Matt Berry. He later returned in the second series in 2005, to play the part of the belligerent shaman Saboo. [6] Ayoade continued his association with The Mighty Boosh in the third series, reprising his role and acting as script editor. [25] In 2005, he played the role of Ned Smanks in Chris Morris' and Charlie Brooker's sitcom Nathan Barley. [26] Ayoade's Dean Learner character was resurrected in 2006 to host a comedy chat show, Man to Man with Dean Learner, on Channel 4. The different guests were played each week by Holness. [27] Ayoade appeared in the satirical comedy series Time Trumpet in 2006, which is set in the year 2031 and saw Ayoade and other celebrities reminiscing about the year 2007 onwards.

It is entirely held together by a series of footnotes, in fact nearly half of the book is just footnotes. It would make David Foster Wallace proud but made navigating this book on my Kindle a task akin to Dante's journey through the Inferno. The footnotes are full anecdotes within themselves, made up of letters and diary entries and strange Pinteresque short film scripts. The book's subtitle, "A Cinematic Odyssey", is really the best description of it.
