5.0 out of 5 stars So weird, so good.
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022
Verified Purchase
If someone would have explained the movie to me I never would have watched it. Its just that the story and the plot don't sound worth watching. However the way that it was done was amazing. I don't like always knowing what is going to happen next, and with this film at almost no point did I know what was going to happen. I like to have a movie on in the background while I am doing other stuff IE: reading, shopping, doing something else that is just not entertaining by its self. I tried that with this film, but I got stuck to it trying to follow it. It is weird... like a fear and loathing in Las Vegas type movie. The morality of the main charter is really really messed up and I see a lot of reviews saying that there must be a culture difference. However realize that he is insane, or at least in the process of going insane it is literally told to you in the description that he is "loosing his grip on reality". Also the copious drug use/ drinking / not taking his meds are most certainly not giving him any clarity. It is not a different culture.... it is a crazy person... It was not the best movie that I have ever watched, but it was way better that I had expected. I enjoyed watching it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sordid, Sad, and Incredibly Enjoyable. Fans of the novel will love this adaptation!
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2016

I watched this movie almost immediately after reading the novel it is based on. I found Irvine Welsh's novel to be compelling, extremely entertaining, emotionally harrowing, and shockingly... well, good! I bravely started the movie believing that I was prepared for anything it could throw at me. Boy, was I wrong.

Like any film adaption of a novel, the movie version of Filth is different from the book, but it stays incredibly similar at the same time. Some scenes and characters have been taken away or changed, (some of the deleted scenes can be found in the special features) but it does nothing to make the movie any less good. Bruce Robertson's below the belt eczema and tapeworm are gone (or, in the case of the tapeworm, mostly gone), but his character- his brilliant, sordid, misanthropic, tortured character- is at his best and worst in James McAvoy's performance. McAvoy plays Bruce perfectly with each sneer, chuckle, sob, and dark look to the camera. He is the perfect Bruce Robertson in the best movie adaptation of a novel I've ever seen. And the other characters- Lennox (Jamie Bell), Blades (Eddie Marsan), Drummond (Imogen Poots)- perform wonderfully as well. This film has obviously been made by somebody (Jon S. Baird) who knows and loves the novel, and Irvine Welsh himself has voiced his approval of it. Fans of the book will not be disappointed.

Now, for people who have not read the book and want to watch the movie- you will have a good time too. There are a few parts of the movie that are less effective if you have not read it, but it holds its own really well. I recommend this movie for anybody who doesn't mind a little dirty humor and a lot of incredibly painful feelings. Just sit back and let the fun, filthy ride begin.

4.0 out of 5 stars Filth is a Tragic-Comedy about Office Politics, Mental Illness, and the Downward Spiral
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021
Verified Purchase
Filth is the story of a Scottish police officer who slips from normality into madness. Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson is out of control when he is sober, but when drugs and alcohol are introduced to an already fragile mind, he loses his grip on reality: totally, completely, fully.

Mental illness is the elephant in the room in Western society. This film shows the descent from barely hanging on to outright unhinged. The movie is a statement piece, and perhaps we should heed its warning.

The humor (is it Scottish humor? because I am checking my Scottish heritage card here) is repulsive at best: sex, drugs... and dance music. The writer is Scottish, we'll give him a break. If you like Blazing Saddles, then a film like Filth will not phase you.

Filth

Scheming Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy), a bigoted and corrupt policeman, is in line for a promotion and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Enlisted to solve a brutal murder and threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues, including Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell), Bruce sets about ensuring their ruin, right under the nose of unwitting Chief Inspector Toal. As he turns his colleagues against one another by stealing their wives and exposing their secrets, Bruce starts to lose himself in a web of deceit that he can no longer control. His past is slowly catching up with him, and a missing wife, a crippling drug habit and suspicious colleagues start to take their toll on his sanity. The question is: can he keep his grip on reality long enough to disentangle himself from the filth?

IMDB quote

*****Spoiler Time*****

The Breakdown

Bruce Robertson is a cruel, unapologetic Scottish police officer who treats people as he views the need to treat himself: with disdain, disrespect, and disloyalty. Since childhood, Bruce Robertson has suffered tragedy and guilt. He has bipolar disorder, for which he takes pharmaceutical medication as well as self-medicates with drugs, sex, and alcohol. The audience comes to understand that Bruce is an unfortunate and miserable soul, as he is remorseful over the death of his brother (an accidental death he caused) from childhood, his wife with their daughter has left him for another man, and he dresses up as his wife to feel a connection to his family. He is a man without hope, looking for redemption in a promotion to Detective Inspector.

When he is demoted from Detective Sargent to Constable for having his emotional, mental breakdown in full view of his colleagues, he plans his suicide. A knock on the door happens right as he is about to commit suicide. Does Bruce Robertson die at the end by his own hand, or is he saved by the woman he wishes he was good enough for? I think we all know the answer to that question.
R.I.P. Bruce.

This film has been rated: 7.1/10 Stars on IMDB.

The Review

Bruce Robertson: The games are always, repeat always, being played. But nobody plays the games like me. Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson, soon to be Detective Inspector Bruce Robertson. You just have to be the best, and I usually am. Same rules apply.

Although the film is disheveled in places where the pacing of the film is discordant with the plot, the plot itself meanders, its ribald comedic nature and dramatic death spiral, as the audience, we must understand we are seeing the world from Bruce Robertson's point of view. And, Bruce's point of view is unraveling before our eyes. We are descending with him into insanity.

Without an anchor of his wife and daughter, Bruce has no reason to remain stable or good or kind. Bruce has no reason to be stable, good, or kind to himself. He is crying out for help, and yet no one can see the desperate state he is in. A police department trained to see the signs of instability in the public is unprofessional and uncaring when the same characteristics present themselves in one of their own officers.

The games people play... with other people's mental health.

Thank you, James McAvoy, cast and crew, and Irving Welsh for bringing to light the horrible necessity for so many people to shove mental illness under the rug. Yet, hiding mental illness means that the problem goes unresolved. Filth is a tragic-comedy (black comedy) that isn't about depravity, profanity, or obscenity of a rogue police officer. This film is about the indecency of our society that ignores all the warning signs of mental illness and uses its own incompetence to ignore the cries of so many who require mental/emotional help.

The tragedy of this film is one of society's failures.

Se fosse un animale, questo film sarebbe un lama: inizialmente sembra morbido e coccoloso (per gli standard Welshiani); poi ti fa vedere il suo sguardo perfido, e poi ti sputa in faccia.
Contiene scene di sesso, droga, un'ottima colonna sonora, un McAvoy da Oscar, e un cameo di David Soul (il biondo di "Starsky e Hutch").

(Kinoversion)

Die Bücher des schottischen Schriftstellers Irvine Welsh zu verfilmen, ist meistens ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit. Bislang ist dies nur Danny Boyle 1996 mit "Trainspotting" gelungen, allen anderen Buchverfilmungen Welshs war kein Erfolg beschieden. Nun aber hat Regisseur Jon S. Baird ("Cass") sich an das nach Kritikermeinung unmöglich zu verfilmende Werk "Filth" (in Deutschland unter dem Titel "Drecksau" erschienen) gewagt und daraus einen wahnwitzigen cineastischen Höllenritt gemacht, in dem James McAvoy ("Wanted", "Trance") als völlig durchgeknallter apokalyptischer Reiter auftritt und hiermit eine der besten Leistungen seiner bisherigen Karriere abliefert.

Edinburgh, Schottland. Detective Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy) ist jemand, der sich weder an Vorschriften noch sonstige moralische Grundsätze hält. Er ist korrupt, verschlagen, drogenabhängig und gemein, dennoch gelingt es dem völlig durchgeknallten Soziopathen, seine niederträchtigen Charaktereigenschaften hinter einer Fassade vermeintlicher Freundschaft und eifriger Polizeiarbeit sowohl vor seinen Kollegen als auch seinem Vorgesetzten zu verbergen. Permanent auf Koks und Alkohol bewegt Robertson sich fernab jeglicher Legalität und geht seinen niederen Bedürfnissen gnadenlos nach. Er vögelt sich durch ganz Edinburgh, schläft mit der Frau eines Kollegen und belästigt eine andere mit obszönen Anrufen. Er lügt, betrügt und feiert, als gäbe es kein Morgen. Durch ein einschneidendes Ereignis in der Kindheit, das ihn nicht loslässt und die kürzliche Trennung von Frau und Tochter hat er jeglichen moralischen Halt verloren und pflügt sich nun mit selbstzerstörerischer Gnadenlosigkeit durch sein armseliges Leben, immer darauf aus, auch das Leben anderer zu zerstören. Vermeintlich, um seine Beförderung zu forcieren, wahrscheinlich aber eher, um sich auf nahezu zwanghafte Weise zu amüsieren und sich so von seinem eigenen Elend abzulenken. Ein fatale Abwärtsspirale, aus der es kein Entrinnen gibt…

"Drecksau" ist ein so witziger wie trauriger Film. Zwischen den ganzen völlig wahnwitzigen Aktionen, an denen Robertson beteiligt ist und die er skrupellos zu seinem eigenen Nutzen und Vergnügen durchzieht, schimmert ab und an auch die ganze Tragik um seine Person durch. Hält man ihn anfangs noch für einen niederträchtigen und gemeinen Cop, der rücksichtslos über Leichen geht, um seine Ziele zu erreichen, merkt man irgendwann, wie kaputt und verzweifelt er wirklich ist. Die Trennung von Frau und Tochter macht ihm so schwer zu schaffen, dass er jeglichen Halt verloren hat. Er konzentriert sich nun völlig auf seine berufliche Karriere und kennt dabei weder Freund noch Feind. Die wenigen Momente, in denen Robertson die Maske fallen lässt, sind fast noch schockierender als seine ganzen hinterhältigen Aktionen.

"Drecksau" ist ein fiebriges, intensives Drama, das schonungslos aufzeigt, was wahnhafter Ehrgeiz und exzessiver Drogenkonsum aus einem Menschen machen können. Aber bei aller Dramatik ist "Drecksau" auch ein sehr witziger, abgefahrener Film, voll mit krassen Bildern, Halluzinationen, entfesselter Gewalt und schmutzigem Sex. Bruce Robertson ist so kaputt, desillusioniert und konsequent in seinen Handlungen, dass man trotz aller Abscheu irgendwie den Hut vor ihm ziehen muss, denn kaum jemand hat den Mut, sich so kompromisslos daneben zu benehmen. Robertson prügelt, kokst, säuft, vögelt, intrigiert und manipuliert, was das Zeug hält, und man schwankt beim Zusehen ständig zwischen Abscheu und Bewunderung für diesen intelligenten, durchtriebenen Dreckskerl. "Drecksau" ist eine Mischung aus "Trainspotting", "Bronson" und "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", aber dennoch ein ganz eigener, besonderer Film.

Regisseur Baird kann hier auf eine ganze Armada großartiger Brit-Stars zurückgreifen, nahezu jede Rolle ist mit prominenten Engländern oder Schotten besetzt: Jamie Bell ("Billy Elliot"), Eddie Marsan ("The World's End"), Imogen Poots ("Fright Night"), Jim Broadbent ("Cloud Atlas"), Martin Compston ("The Disappearance of Alice Creed"), Gary Lewis ("Billy Elliot"), Shauna Macdonald ("The Descent"), David Soul ("Starsky & Hutch"), Pollyanna McIntosh ("The Woman") und Kate Dickie ("Red Road"). Und natürlich James McAvoy, dessen entfesseltes Spiel als Mega-Arschloch mit unheilbarer Seelenpein sie alle in den Schatten stellt. McAvoy liefert hier wirklich beeindruckend ab und spielt, als ginge es um sein Leben. Im anschließenden Q&A verriet McAvoy, dass es ihn sehr gefreut hat, endlich mal den Bösen spielen zu dürfen und mal derjenige zu sein, der anderen richtig auf die Fresse haut. Seine mehrwöchige Alkohol- und Burger-"Diät" zur Vorbereitung auf die Rolle hat ihm darüber hinaus auch ganz gut gefallen. McAvoy gibt hier wirklich alles und spielt derart überzeugend, dass man ihn wahlweise in die Entzugsklinik einweisen lassen oder ihm eine reinhauen möchte. McAvoy liefert hier darstellerisch wirklich ganz großes Kino. Chapeau. Kleine Randnotiz: Autor Irvine Welsh hatte in "Drecksau" ebenfalls eine kleine Rolle, allerdings verriet der Regisseur im Q&A, dass Welsh zwar ein grandioser Schriftsteller, aber leider ein ganz mieser Darsteller sei, weswegen sein Auftritt der Schere zum Opfer fiel.

Aber auch die Locations sind eine Erwähnung wert. Böse Zungen behaupten zwar, dass man nur in so vielen verschiedenen Ländern gedreht hat, um ordentlich Filmförderungsgelder einzustreichen, Fakt ist aber, dass hier neben Belgien und Schweden besonders Hamburg gut in Szene gesetzt wurde. Rathausmarkt, die Terrasse vom Grill & Green an der Bleichenbrücke und natürlich die Reeperbahn, inklusive einer ihrer legendärsten Kneipen, der "Ritze", werden von Kameramann Matthew Jensen gut eingefangen. Unterlegt wird das Ganze mit einem schmissigen Soundtrack, so dass aus "Drecksau" rundum gelungenes Genrekino geworden ist. Ich rate übrigens zur schottischen Originalversion, dieser melodische Singsang mit den gerollten "R"s ist einfach klasse, allerdings sollten die Englischkenntnisse fundiert sein, da hier viel Slang und sehr schnell gesprochen wird.

"Drecksau" ist eine Tour de Force, ein lauter, schmutziger, gemeiner, witziger, tragischer und genialer Film. Jon S. Baird hat hier wirklich Großartiges geleistet, denn der Film macht deutlich, dass es nicht leicht gewesen sein kann, eine so komplexe Buchvorlage für die Leinwand zu adaptieren. Doch dank eines fähigen Regisseurs, eines überragenden James McAvoy, einem grandiosen Cast, coolem Soundtrack und vielen verschiedenen Locations ist "Drecksau" ein abgefahrener Drogentrip, ein spannendes Drama und ein wirklich dreckiger Krimi geworden, den man nicht verpassen sollte. Volle fünf von fünf Drecksäuen, dessen Weg man besser nicht kreuzen sollte.
