Product description

Product Description

Political drama from veteran British filmmaker Ken Loach. Damien (Cillian Murphy) is about to leave Ireland for his medical studies in London while his brother Teddy (Padraic Delaney) is an active IRA member. After witnessing an act of resistance to the daily violence of the 'Black and Tans', Damien abandons his burgeoning career and joins his brother in a dangerous and violent fight for freedom. Eventually, both sides agree to a treaty to end the bloodshed. But, despite the apparent victory, civil war erupts and families who fought side by side, find themselves pitted against one another as sworn enemies, putting their loyalties to the ultimate test.

ÍøÆغÚÁÏ.co.uk Review

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 radicalised 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 a couple of 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 film provides some fascinating historical insight into the nascent resistance movement as it was in 1920, and Loach brilliantly conveys the profound emotional transition young men had to make to become saboteurs and killers. Loach's realistic style is absolutely mesmerizing, with many scenes built around the dynamics of large groups: contentious meetings, torture sessions, battles, celebrations, and the like. One has the sense of history as a pool of energy, and one also develops a kind of Renoir-esque appreciation for the fact that different people on opposing sides of a life-or-death issue have their reasons for believing what they believe. As the story moves along, subtle shifts in the perspectives of men and women who had once agreed to be absolute in their fight for freedom results in a tragic yet understandable schism among Irish patriots. The final half-hour of The Wind That Shakes The Barley says a lot about how the Irish, including people who had known one another all their lives, turned their wrath on one another for so many decades. This is an outstanding film, featuring the best performance yet by Murphy (Red Eye). --Tom Keogh

    5.0 out of 5 stars An intense movie
    Reviewed in the United States on 25 December 2024

    This was an excellent film, providing a view into Ireland's history and the painful ravages of war. I was pleased that my DVD player, designed to recognize all regions, was able to successfully play this Region 2 DVD. The heavy Irish accents were, at times, a bit difficult for me to understand, but the gist of the movie still came through. It was painful to watch but honored the struggles of the time. The scenery and depiction of the lifestyle of the times were beautiful and authentic.

    J'ai regardé ce film pour Cillian Murphy, principalement, et c'est réellement un très bon film qui m'a appris énormément de choses. Le jeu de Cillian est incroyable, c'est le premier film de sa filmographie que j'ai vu et je ne regrette pas. L'envie a été très rapide d'ailleurs, je l'ai reçu un jour en avance !

    5.0 out of 5 stars eindrucksvolles Meisterwerk
    Reviewed in Germany on 4 April 2018
    Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase
    Wer sich mit der Geschichte Irlands beschäftigt, kommt um diesen beeindruckenden Film nicht herum. Doch vorsicht: Nichts für schwache Nerven!
    Einziges Manko an dieser DVD ist, dass der englische Untertiltel nur für Schwerhörige ist. Andererseits halten sich die Kommentare sehr in Grenzen, weshalb ein nur geringer Unterschied zu klassischen Untertiteln ersichtlich wird. Somit von meiner Seite aus kein Abzug.
