Eat the peach
It's no coincidence that the best Irish movies are impossible to find on DVD. Eat the peach is one such movie. It's the '80s and the recession has closed down the local factory in the midlands. An unemployed pair come up with a solution - build a wall of death. Bet none of the present day unemployed Irish would have the initiative to do this? The film is great in the sense that it's far better than most of the junk that gets made in Ireland these days. There's a charming innocence about it. Almost like an Irish western! Great music, great supporting cast, great ambience, great locations - great movie!
