The Wind That Shakes The Barley








The Wind That Shakes The Barley, (2006) directed by Ken Loach, stars Cillian Murphy, was the winner of the 2006 Palme d'Or, has finally been released in New York. Is set during the Irish War of Independence and The Irish Civil War which followed. Usual themes of war are explored, (Ken Loach style) occupation, terrorism, brutality, loyalty(to country or to kin).
Was the most excellent movie, Cillian Murphy is a master of his craft and Ken Loach at 70 is at his best.
Title is a line from a 19c song of the same name.
Was a little strange for a Ken Loach film not to have a social worker in it.
