Trivia

Shot on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Director Alison Bagnall :"We shot on the Canon 5D Mark II. I asked my DP Ashley Connor what cameras she liked. She told me, almost embarrassed, that she wasn't 'that into gear'. I loved that. There's a saying to 'beware of the man who has only one gun - he'll know how to use it.' That's Ashley. Ashley knew the 5D so well, and the settings and software, and people exclaim that the images in this film look like paintings. The movie gives you a real 'art hit.' That's because Ashley is an artist through and through." [2015]

User Reviews

Beautiful movie

Funny Bunny is one of those movies you can't stop thinking about after watching it. A simple yet captivating story.

I do not know much about filming, but I can say this movie is shot in a beautiful way. The scenes and the photography are a true work of art. The dialogs are perfect, and the acting is brilliant, especially Olly Alexander's. Everything is exactly where it should be: the looks, the gestures, the silences.

I had not seen such a good movie in a very long time.

For those outside the U.S., the movie can be seen on Vimeo. I rented it for only 4.99.

I liked it so much that I had to watch it twice in a row.
