Top Five Irish Films: ?Into the West,? ?Once,? ?The Commitments,? ?Bloody S
2008-03-28 06:06:00 HOLLYWOOD ? Someone once said there are two kinds of people: ?Those who are Irish and those who wish they were Irish.? While mom claimed I was the first, being an American for a few generations tossed me into the ?mutt? category. If there truly is Irish in me, it?s in my big toe or my ring finger, which hardly makes me the Irish lass I had hoped. The mission of Rachel Faith ? the Hollywood-based Silver Screen Indie Queen for HollywoodChicago.com ? is to help avoid the ?beige? film experience by providing easily accessible information on indie film, film festival favorites and must-see Hollywood classics. At the end of the day, it?s all about turning people onto new and different films using the Indie Queen?s film geekdom for good and not evil. At the end of the day, who wouldn?t want to be at least a toenail?s bit of Irish? Following last week?s column on my top five Irish actors, here are my top five Irish films. ?Into the West? (1993), directed by Mike Newell ?Into the West...

2007-01-20 10:35:00 KES [Ken Loach] 1969KES is the story of a 15 year old lad Billy Casper, played by a young and superb Billy Bradley. Casper is a fatherless lonely boy who lives in Barnsley a working class town located in Yorkshire, the north of England. The young boy has a difficult upbringing, under an strict english education environment. His family doesnt helps much either as he is also constantly bullied by his old brother and ignored by his mother [she refeers to Casper as a hopeless case].KES is the moving story of Casper and his falcon and symbolizes to me a true and beautiful story of hope and freedom, perhaps the only escape from a more than probably 'one way heading' to the pits.The direction of Ken Loach is masterful and the spirit and sensitivity of this film is beyond words.Although we could classify KES as a docu-drama, the film features some hilarious bits like the Football sequence or the library one. CasperKES is also made by non professional and local residents actors but Loach d... |
