Very beautiful and utterly bonkers The List ****
Stimulates the senses, a sensory movie experience Het Parool ****
A totally unique mixture of documentary, fiction and playful visual poetry EIFF 2013
Nominated for the Michael Powell Award for Best British Film (Edinburgh International Film Festival 2013) and a Tiger Award (International Film Festival Rotterdam 2013) Dummy Jim weaves fiction, documentary, animation and archive to explore the eccentric adventures of profoundly deaf Scots long-distance cyclist James Duthie who hailed from the close-knit Aberdeenshire fishing community of Cairnbulg and Inverallochy.
In 1951, he set out on a lone cycling tour to Morocco. After three months of pedalling, he reached the Arctic Circle.
“If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.”
12 years in the making, director Matt Hulse crafts a multi-layered memorial to a quietly determined maverick and the community that shaped him, with present-day village inhabitants emerging as creative participants.
Deaf actor Samuel Dore leads.
