Traveller



Not to be confused with the already reviewed Traveller (or Travellers!) this is a recent movie set in Britain about Irish travellers. Although the accents are mostly English there are lots of Irish music on the soundtrack and references to this country. It portrays these people in the usual way: sulky racing, boxing, and rows with the police. A young man decides to return to the caravans, gets involved in a robbery, and dates a police woman. Singer David Essex (whose mother was an Irish traveller) appears and some of his songs are on the soundtrack. However, there are too many movies with this title, the action is low key, the direction is not involved enough, and we've seen most scenes in other movies. Not well known but out on DVD.
