This is a brilliant film which employs contemporary trad music, poetry and the drama of real life to show a picture of contemporary inner city Dublin on the cusp of change.
One hopes the director will continue with a film about Dundalk, about Derry, about Belfast and about Limerick. We need such a clear sighted view as Ireland moves forward.
The participation of many of Ireland's most powerful contemporary singers and instrumentalists contributes so much to the impact of this film. Shooting it in black and white is a genius move, giving the film a timeless air.
I watched this film in an art theater in Albuquerque New Mexico and I am recommending it to everyone.
