Wind that shakes the barley
Set in the twenties this movie is set in two parts. The first one is about the fight against the British in Cork while the last half hour is about the fight between themselves. The best bits were the attacks on the British army. The rest involved lots of talk about why they were fighting. Some scenes had the actors stumbling with their dialogue but it works. Another good scene was when the Brit said 'those men were at the Somme'. Most outdoor scenes seem to be done with a telephoto lens?
