Juonikuvaukset(1)

It's Ireland, 1924. Harry's favourite son, Patrick, was killed during the civil war. His wife Annie died of a broken heart shortly thereafter. He continues to live with his other son, Gus, in their small house on the edge of the village of Skillet, but he gradually becomes more and more withdrawn. One grey day, he has an absurd idea: why not find himself an enemy? After all, if love seems to have left him with nothing, perhaps hate can give him back some relish for life... After some hard thinking, he settles on George, the most powerful man in the village. He becomes obsessed with how to destroy George... (Zlín Film Festival)

englanti The story itself is not that compelling or even exceptional, but what elevates the film to a level between three and four stars is the performance of Colm Meaney, who perfectly embodies his character as a patriarchal stubborn farmer with his appearance and acting. He effortlessly outshines the talented Cillian Murphy. Nature also plays an important role in the film - the camera shots exude the raw Irish weather and the atmosphere of the Irish countryside in the 1920s. The image of the marketplace with a large waterfall cascading in the background will stay in my memory for a long time. Overall impression: 65%. ()
