Belfast

[GhostOfTomJoad 9352]

Beautiful film. Stunning b&w with amazing shot composition that brings you into the small street the protestant family shared with catholics at the start of the Troubles in '69.

 

It's apparently a damn near autobiography of Kenneth Branagh's childhood at that time. It's actually surprisingly light on the what's and how's of the time, instead focusing on 3 generations trying to decide where they fit in a changing world.

 

Well worth seeing.

Would like to see this.  Especially for Caitriona Balfie.

Enjoyable movie. Saw it tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

You can now rent this one...well worth the $6 for a 4k rental.  

And I think some of it was even shot in Belfast! </power of the dog thread>

This was such a beautiful movie. Ciaran Hinds was superb in his role as the grandfather and he should’ve won every single award for best supporting actor during awards season. He is in a lot of shows on the BBC and whatnot so I enjoy the work he does. I watched this when it was in the theatre and I loved it then and will highly suggest this as a movie to watch for anyone. That it was done in black and white added to how good this film was.

Yeah, we watched it on HBO last night. Just a beautiful piece of work to look at, and the performances are top notch. I hope more people discover this gem over time.

We did as well and it is, indeed, a gem.
