Travel Film Recommendation: The Trip to Spain, Greece, Italy & England
This British series explores human issues while enjoying fine culinary travelling
The Trip is a long running British television series starring two friends, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, playing caricatures of themselves as they journey around the world dining in top class restaurants. It's directed by the acclaimed director, Michael Winterbottom, whose previous work includes A Mighty Heart, 24 Hour Party People, and
Welcome to Sarajevo.
The subtle humour is definitely an acquired taste, but even if that's not really your thing, you can't argue with the gorgeous scenery and the absolutely scrumptious food they dine on.
