The wind that shakes the barley: a searing, sometimes harrowing film, with superb cinematographySYNOPSIS: Review by Andrew L. Urban: Writer Laverty and Loach tell the big picture through the particular stories of a handful of individuals who are at first comrades in arms, but soon find themselves at gun point over how to deal with a present that will unfold to become the future. The weight of the subject and the quality of the filmmaking earned Loach his first Palme d'Or (after several near misses and Jury Prizes) at Cannes in 2006. It's a searing, sometimes harrowing film, with superb cinematography by Barry Ackroyd to take us into this world through visual magic. The awfulness of everyday life in poverty stricken Ireland is compounded by the vicious warring between the English army and the local lads. You might argue that Loach goes too far in portraying the English soldiers as real bastards and the resistance as heroic young poets, but that's exactly how history is often written: from one perspective, and that perspective seems always to coincide with God's ... If your sympathies are not with the Irish republicans, this film will irritate you, but so it should. If you are neutral on the subject, you'll get a buzz out of the sensitive filmmaking, superb, naturalistic performances with touches of improv, and a sense of outrage that informs the film's mood. It's good to get outraged about things, especially if you use that energy to make a film, instead of a bomb. Review by Andrew. L. Urban from www.urbancinefile.com 20.09.2006 | Editor's blog Cat. : cannes festival Ken Loach palme d or Fest. circuit Independent FILM AWARDS
