Disappearance of Finbar

If ever an Irish movie lived up to its name then it's this one! Originally made in 1995 it's been out of circulation for years. Chances are you've never even heard of it. Strange indeed but for some reason a lot of Irish movies from the '90s are impossible to view. Don't know why? This one is about Finbar who lives in Tallaght. He's too good looking to fit in and disappears off a bridge. The friends lament, record songs about him, and then he's forgotten. Except, one friend travels to Scandinavia and finds Finbar. Except it's a pub called Finn Bar! He meets a young woman who rapes him (it's OK - a woman can rape a man in Irish movies e.g. Crushproof). Then Finbar turns up and guess what happens? It's a road movie without roads, it's a disappearance movie except we don't care if he's found, it's set in Dublin and then in a country with lots of snow. The filmmakers create a big fuss about the guy but we just don't care. It's not out on DVD except it is. Was it worth tracking down? Not really.
