No resting place
Here's one that should get mentioned on a list of lost Irish films! Very rare movie that hasn't appeared on television since the '60s apparently. It's the old story of the settled community vs the travellers. Set in rural Ireland it explores the conflict between the two groups. It also portrays the travellers as outsiders and this is impressively done. What's interesting is that this picture is a naturalist effort instead of a realist one. It's a very good fiction film made by a famous documentary director. Far better in fact than most other Irish titles about travellers. The strange thing is that though this movie has been little seen it's quite similar to many recent acclaimed Irish movies?
