NEIL JORDAN NO GENIUS!

Ireland's favourite right winger Kevin Myers wrote an interesting article in yesterday's Irish Independent. Basically we have no living geniuses (which is true) but also: 'Neil Jordan's artistic voice is essentially that of Hollywood.' Doubt that Jordan considers himself a genius but the article was really criticising Irish society not him. When our Film Industry has 'minor and submissive tributaries to far larger streams' no wonder we can't produce good cinema?
