Easily one of the best Irish movies from the '90s though not as good as it thinks it is! Uses every cliché of mid-Twentieth century rural Ireland but in an interesting way. A young man gets 'messed up' by his surroundings. Got a bit extreme when they had the atom bomb scene and the impression is that Jordan is saying to younger Irish filmmakers "this is how it's done!". The current Film Board has failed to find a new Neil Jordan!
