Black Irish

Here's another interesting Irish-American movie. This one is similar to titles like The Yards where it's all washed-out colours, powerful but good music on the soundtrack, respect for religion, closed community, plain women (!), wooden homes, and a blue-collar outlook. Gleeson plays the father and the story revolves around a communion and baseball. The title comes from the term applied to Irish people who have dark complexions. Sad that these films get ignored in Ireland as they are superior to many of the better known Irish titles.
