dangermousieI promise to get to all the comments.
Mr. Mousie and I just returned from the Irish film The Wind that Shakes the Barley (Synopsis and pictures posted in this entry). I could meta about it all day (and plan to, tomorrow), but it's late now so all I will say it is blew me away.
It's the best movie I've seen this year, and probably last year too. It's complicated and complex and deceptively laid back yet incredibly emotionally powerful. I wanted to look away in spots but couldn't.
And all this effect was on someone who knows little if any Irish history.
Go watch.
Now.
And because I cannot completely throw off the shallow? Padraic Delaney who plays Teddy is gorgeous. (So is Cillian Murphy who plays Damien but he is not my type).
