Brotherhood
The horrors of the Korean War are unflinchingly shown in director
Kang Je-Gyus searing drama of two Korean brothers who are
suddenly plunged into war. Both sides of the conflict are shown,
giving this vivid anti-war film a frenetic power that few other
war films possess.
Adam & Paul
Director Lenny Abrahamsons low-budget, laugh-free comedy
is called Laurel and Hardy on smack in Dublin.
Two extremely droopy dopers Adam (the screenwriter Mark OHalloran)
and Paul (Tom Murphy) are the centre of what would seem to us
non-addicts as the most hapless world. A grim look at the seamy
underbelly of that fair city and one which is likely to keep tourists
away in droves.
Guerilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst
When heiress Patty Hearst was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation
Army, she was only 19. But what startling events befell her during
that time is the fascinating centre of this documentary about
a group of radicals who held the attention of the entire American
nation in 1974.
