The Wind That Shakes The Barley + Q&A with Ken Loach (15)
Duration: 127m Tense and moving, Loach's THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY examines the personal cost of social and political conflict with characteristic insight and intelligence and ranks amongst his most poignant and compassionate works. Ireland, 1920. Workers unite to form volunteer guerrilla armies to fight in Ireland's bid for independence. Driven by a deep sense of duty and a love for his country, Damien (Murphy, BREAKFAST ON PLUTO) and his brother, Teddy (Delaney), join the violent conflict. When the two countries finally agree to a treaty, civil war erupts and families who fought side by side find themselves pitted against one another, putting their loyalties to the ultimate test. The period detail is superb, as are the lead performances, headed by a never better Murphy. Vital cinema.
