The Wind That Shakes The Barley Not rated. (2006)
Wednesday, May 7, 7 p.m.
Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, this
gripping drama by Ken Loach (Raining Stones) is set during the early
days of the Irish Republican Army, when British occupation of the Irish
radicalized many a citizen and caused some to take up arms. Cillian
Murphy plays Damien, a medical student on his way to London when he
witnesses atrocities committed by British troops. Instead of becoming a
doctor, he turns into a leading and respected figure in an IRA division
led by his brother, Teddy (Padraic Delaney).
The Celtic Film Series will resume in the Fall.
