Filth star James Mc Avoy: Theres a freeing of intelligence that can come with mental illness video interview

The star of a film based on Irvine Welsh s scandalous novel talks about playing debauched policeman Bruce Robertson, while Welsh explains how the character s bad bahaviour is a pure and rational response to grief. Filth, adapted for the screen and directed by Jon S. Baird, also stars Jamie Bell as Bruce s ambitious young partner and Imogen Poots as the lone female officer on a force full of morally corrupt boys in blue.
