WHAT'S THE MADDEST IRISH FILM?
Not angry or violent but strange. A few contenders include The fantasist which was made back in the 1980s and is long forgotten. There are several strange scenes in that movie: a bald woman puts on her hat as she doesn't want someone to see her with no hair. Another scene involved a guy playing bongos on a woman's buttocks! There's also the earlier Daughter of darkness which has a woman killed by an alsation dog! More recently there was Puffball where rural women steal used condoms and try to have a baby. Sadly these strange (and not too good) films are the exemption to the bland dross in Irish cinema. The point is that as most Irish films are crap surely it would be a good idea to make these madder or stranger to stand out?
