November afternoon

Here's a little-known fact: before Dogma 95 arrived some Irish filmmakers were already making feature films using video cameras. This one is about two couples who arrive in Dublin for a weekend. It's in black and white, has a jazz music score, and has an incest subplot. Impressive movie but too pedestrian to really stand out. Like most Irish movies it's technically well done but not particularly cinematic. Best scene has one of the men doing a Tati across Eden Quay holding a tray of drinks!
