Now perhaps she was over-reacting, but when 'Ramsey' discovers their young son 'Stalingrad' wearing his auntie's lingerie and then nails him to the shed door, his wife calls him heartless. Many years later, she has died; their boy is living with an MP in Chelsea and going by the name of 'Bunty', and he is having a conversation with this ostensibly missing organ on the chair opposite. It is acting as his psychiatrist as he reminisces about his time in the war, his happy and not so happy times with wife 'Violet' but not, it has to be said, in any particularly remorseful fashion. This is not a man full of regret as he soul searches. Frankly, he is just a bit of an old curmudgeon and this amiably exaggerated and detailed style of stop-motion animation, coupled with some quite observant and self-questioning dialogue, give us an enjoyable impression of a man socially ill-equipped for modern day life.
