IRISH FILM BOOKS: THE IRA ON FILM AND TELEVISION

Never seen this book on sale in the shops but it's in my local library. An Amercian publication it's not too academic and is quite interesting to read. What's best about it is that each film gets discussed separately so it's like a reference book. It came out last year and is aimed at IRA films released in the USA. So recent obscure stuff like Boxed get written about whereas the over-hyped Anton gets ignored. Presumably the former got a release over there whereas the latter didn't? There is an interesting selection of films included - some of which never get a mention in other books on Irish cinema. The one interesting thing I read is that the Big House trilogy of Irish films were all based on an Italian film called Garden of the Finzi-Continis.
