THE DONALD M. EPHRAIM SUN & STARS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Jan 27, 2025 |Marshall E. Rinker, Sr. Playhouse
Florida premiere
Drama, country life, Ireland
2023, Pat Collins, Ireland/UK
With Barry Ward, Anna Bederke, Ruth McCabe
Seasoned documentary filmmaker Collins (SONG OF GRANITE), whose earlier work has explored disappearing aspects of Irish culture, turns to fiction with this adaptation of John McGahern’s novel. Joe (Ward) and Kate (Bederke) abandon trendy London careers for a quiet life in the Irish countryside where Joe was born and where the seasons rule the rhythm of their days. The locals regard them with suspicion, especially when they aren’t seen at the village church. Collins delves deep for the old stories of belonging, departure and return. The cast includes veteran actors of the Irish stage and screen, including Lalor Roddy, Ruth McCabe, Brendan Conroy, Seán McGinley, and more. Best Film, 2024 Irish Film and Television Awards.
