AT-SWIM-TWO-BIRDS!

With all the hype about Brendan Gleeson's forthcoming directorial debut it's strange that no-one has mentioned this interesting fact: THIS MOVIE WAS ALREADY DONE BACK IN THE 1990S! There is an German film adaptation of this famous novel. The way Gleeson is going on you'd swear he's poineering this novel to the big screen! That's Irish cinema in a nutshell: blinkered and only looking at things from one angle.
