The Trip to Greece (2020), directed by Michael Winterbottom

In the final instalment of their foodie odyssey, Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan enjoy a couple of Greek islands and some mainland tourist experiences. The premise is that they are following in the footsteps of Odysseus, but this is not really an epic journey. Although they have thankfully moved on from the Michael Caine impressions, the repartee and ribbing still falls a little flat – same old, same old. There is less focus on the food this time, although there are some of the usual kitchen shots and ultra-professional waitstaff. The gorgeous scenery is a feature, but it manages to avoid masquerading as a Greek tourism commercial. The fictional element of the Trip is the strongest in this last outing, with a poignant throughline of love and loss, involving Steve’s father and son and Rob’s wife. It’s a fitting end to the trips, fortunately completed pre-COVID, during which we could now only dream of such indulgence.
