A unique film in its own right.

A raw color in the film that makes it unique in its ability to formulate a time one in which Ireland was not free.
The film's Director, made a consequence choice to use no saturation and thusly producing a raw film that you could smell and taste.
The film takes it's time with character development. It doesn't focus on one thing that most war movies focus on. This is the place that makes the movie shine over most others. You feel that the characters want freedom. You feel you're right there with the characters arguing over the treteis. There is planning involved. The film shows characters getting training for fighting. But all of this doesnt feel like it was planned, like it is some formula derived in film schools for making a war movie. All of it seamlessly integrated it self in to the film. One scene flowed to the next. It was reading a good book where you forget you're reading the book for a while and get lost in the text. You'll get lost in film. You'll feel you're there in the 1920's pre-free Ireland. |
