Bittersweet moonlit Irish tale
Blood is thicker than water
Let's all listen to Van Morrison together.
The film features Marianne Faithfull in the role of a mother, and the film's title is the same as one of my favourite Van Morrison albums, and the songs used in the film are also by Van Morrison. Moreover, this film is set in Ireland.
So, how has it escaped my radar for 30 years? There are so many streaming services, so many purchase/rental options, so why are films like this nowhere to be found?
The film is an adaptation of Francis Stuart's 1936 novel The White Hare, and the director is, hold on tight... Dagmar Hirtz. That is, a German. How can a German portray Ireland and the Irish so beautifully?
Where are the good filmmakers? Why can't we watch films like this anymore?
Why is Ireland so beautiful... despite all the pain it has experienced in the past?
