Hi, being a Brit I’ve had a chance to see Bronson earlier in the year and I still think Tom Hardy possibly the best performance of the year. Just wanted to pick up Simon’s point of style over content, this film was always going to be extremely ambivalent as Bronson is suc a engima. My brother’s ex is a probation officer who has no time for the majority of crims but had quite a fascination for Bronson and a lot of sympathy for the man despite his crimes. The man is just one huge question mark, you couldn’t even find out his motivation even if you wanted to as no one can get a chance to speak to him! All you can go on are his actions and they are are so contradictory and batshxt, which I think they have managed to capture in this film by trying to show what’s in the man’s (persona’s) head. It is essentially a tour of his psyche, not a typical biog, with no answers. Plus the scene with the headcase disco with the Pet Shop Boys in the background is soooo funny. If you like the Walker brother’s (orginal) version of “The Electrician”, listen to Sightings’ version off their “through The Panama” album. If you like Wolf Eyes, Black Dice etc. you’ll love it.
