Bloody Sunday

Not to be confused with the similar movie Sunday or the boring '70s film Sunday, Bloody Sunday (which gets a mention in this movie). This picture is about the killing of thirteen civilians in Derry which made headlines around the world. It's the kind of film that wins awards due to the stylish filmmaking and low-key, observant approach to the story. Washed out colours, shakey camera work (lots of off-focus scenes), little music on the soundtrack, and extras playing themselves. Then there's the behind-the-scenes of the British soldiers and the different reasons why they opened fire. Like a lot of Irish films this is overrated and got made too late to make much of an impact.
