R.I.P. IRVIN KERSHNER
Big news that the director of the best of the Star Wars movies has died. So why is he mentioned on an Irish cinema blog? Because back in the '60s he directed one of the best movies about an Irish emigrant called The luck of Ginger Coffey. Set in Canada it told the story of a middle-aged Irishman whose marriage fails when he can't find a job. Now that's the kind of movie our 'film industry' should be making again?
