I agree. It's possibly Morris at his most subtle, yet still incredibly controversial. I think one of the best things to come from "Four Lions" is that it put an end to the whole 'Chris Morris : elusive-media-terrorist-genius-who-doesn't-appear-in-public-or-give-interviews' nonsense that was always spouted by all and sundry who mentioned Morris in print.

All you Morris fans should probably pick up a copy of Lucian Randall's book, "Disgusting Bliss : The Brass Eye Of Chris Morris". Morris himself doesn't contribute, but those he has worked with throughout his career do. It's great.
