#UCFF's initial Tweets about Mutt (2023) (posting still under construction)










End-notes :

* The film seems to have no internal logic why it is so called.

However, #UCFF has since been advised, by one more likely to be in the know, that the word is used in the States synonymously with 'schmuck' (and referred to the authority of its being used in that way by Groucho Marx no less) : that being so, the pejorative usage in Yiddish [the link is to Wiki] adds colour, because, although 'schmuck' derives from the German word Schmuck (der Schmuck, which means 'jewelry'), its literal Yiddish meaning is a vulgar way of referring to the penis. (One can therefore infer that 'Dick' (or 'Cock') might have been more resonant titles in British English.)




Unless stated otherwise, all films reviewed were screened at Festival Central (Arts Picturehouse, Cambridge)
