Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story (2006)

Steve Coogan plays Steve Coogan playing Tristran Shandy in this film-within-a-film adaptation of the classic "unfilmmable" novel that deals a lot with procrastination as well as the procrastination of the making of this film. I'll let you read that back over again. Think Adaptation meets This Is Spinal Tap and you'll get part of an accurate picture. Very funny and inventive way of tackling the subject matter head-on without actually being faithful to the material...well, if you've seen it, you'd understand.
