Farce: Holy Water
13 November 2012
An Irish film about sex is likely to be a sticky business, particularly when it is set in a remote village where the inhabitants seem to have forgotten what lust means.
But Tom Reeve is determined to mine most of the clichés of the rustic genre.
The story hinges on four daft child-men who kidnap a van carrying a load of Viagra, get chased by the police and American investigators, put the stuff down a well and watch while those who drink the water get randier.
The film quickly descends into farce — it hardly merits the appellation of "an arousing comedy".
