I saw Bill Forsyth's new movie Comfort and Joy last
night and it is both.  There's no problem about a
spoiler here, because it's almost impossible to talk
about Forsyth's movies (his others include Gregory's
Girl and Local Hero) without sounding crazy.  Out of
the context of the movie, the subjects sound
bizarre. Just a hint -- this movie is about a dj (in
Scotland -- Forsyth is Scottish) who, during the week
before Christmas, is deserted by his girlfriend with
no warning and gets involved in a war between rival ice
cream sellers.   I know it sounds weird, but if you
enjoy originality and a liberal touch of whimsy, you'll
enjoy this movie (as well as Forsyth's other two
movies).
