SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: The Matchmaker
DESCRIPTION:THE MATCHMAKER  1997\, 97 minutes \nWith St. Patrick’s soon upon us\, Irish rom-coms can be a tricky thing. John Ford’s 1952 classic The Quiet Man now comes across as so brutal it should have a restraining order slapped on it. Nor has the recent crop been all that promising. Wild Mountain Thyme has some good moments\, mostly connected to Emily Blunt’s singing\, but Christopher Walken’s Lucky Charms accent is so cringe inducing\, one wishes he had just played his role as a New Yorker retired to Ireland. \nThat said\, The Matchmaker certainly isn’t perfect. It’s gratuitously potty-mouthed and depends too much on slapstick\, but when it connects\, it’s wonderful. Janeane Garofalo is at her acerbic best as a senatorial aide sent to Ireland to boost her boss’s appeal to Irish-American voters. Arriving amidst a raucous bridal fair\, Garofalo tries to find relatives of the Senator\, only to cross paths with roguish local matchmaker Milo O’Shea\, who inveigles her into the romantic jostling. When the Senator arrives with his shameless campaign manager Dennis Leary expecting a media event\, Irish and Irish-American cultures collide and find a Hibernian kind of love along the way. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated R\, with smoking\, drinking\, fraternal mayhem\, unsubtle sexual innuendo\, and LOTS of profanity (Saxon words pronounced in Irish and Boston accents)

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: My Left Foot
DESCRIPTION:MY LEFT FOOT  1989\, 103 minutes \nIn this extraordinary film Daniel Day Lewis plays Christy Brown\, who was born in Depression-era Dublin to a family of 22 children––thirteen of whom survived infancy. That Christy Brown himself survived is something of a miracle as he was diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy.  Unable to speak or move any part of his body except his left foot\, Christy was initially considered beyond hope by everyone except his mother. But at an early age Christy demonstrated he was indeed aware\, and with fierce determination he learned to write and paint amidst the rough and tumble dynamic of his working-class family. \nIn scenes that are as tough as they are inspiring\, Christy develops into a hard-headed\, sharp-eyed artist\, and when one considers his upbringing took place when a disability was considered a moral failing\, the story is that much more striking. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated R\, with smoking\, drinking\, sexuality\, profanity\, violence\, familial mayhem\, self-hatred and one suicide attempt.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: Ondine
DESCRIPTION:ONDINE 2009\, 111 minutes \nNo series involving Ireland would be complete without one film that touches upon the mythic. Ondine does this\, but in a sardonic way\, updated to the era of the European Union. Set on the coast of County Cork\, Colin Farrell plays a bedraggled fisherman named Syracuse\, whose sobriety is as tenuous as the respect his neighbors hold for him. One day Syracuse finds a woman in his fishing nets and his ailing daughter is convinced the woman is a legendary selkie––shorn of her seal-skin and returned to land speaking in a strange accent. What follows is a tale of redemption\, with Syracuse the fisherman struggling to believe in fables when he hardly believes in himself. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG-13\, with smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, sexuality\, nudity\, violence\, and one very acid-tongued alum of Ballykissangel.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: The Playboys
DESCRIPTION:Join Doc Crane every Thursday at the AIC for a film and discussion. These events are free and open to the public. \nTHE PLAYBOYS\, 1992 117 minutes  \nRobin Wright plays Tara Maguire\, an unwed mother living in a small village near the border of Northern Ireland in 1957. At turns shamed and courted by her neighbors\, Tara rebuffs all comers\, including the local constable\, played by a brooding Albert Finney. Into Tara’s village comes a ramshackle traveling theater company run by Milo O’Shea and Aidan Quinn\, bringing mayhem as well as a breath of life. Against her better judgment\, Tara is soon drawn to the roguish Aidan Quinn\, stirring the ire of Finney’s constable. Intense and passionate in a Hibernian way\, The Playboys captures rural Ireland on the edge of change­­ with even the theatre troupe sensing that their days are numbered with television encroaching on its traditional domain. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG-13\, with smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, violence (including suicide)\, sexuality\, nudity\, smuggling\, and over-the-top “theatre folk.”

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:BROOKLYN 2015 117 Minutes \nFaithfully adapted from Colm Tóibín’s novel\, this film relates New York’s ongoing immigration experience\, as seen through the eyes of Ellis Lacey\, a young Irish woman. Played by Saoirse Ronan in her breakout performance\, Ellis leaves her small town in County Wexford for better prospects in early ‘50s Brooklyn. Once there\, she finds herself in a mirror Irish community wedged in among all the borough’s other ethnicities. At first Ellis is bereft with homesickness\, but slowly she adapts to the New York hustle and bustle\, finding love and fulfillment––only to have old obligations test her new loyalties. With Domhnal Gleeson\, Emory Cohen\, Julie Walters\, and Jim Broadbent. \nBE ADVISED: This film is rated PG-13\, with period smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, and sensuality\, as well as Irish difficulties with swimwear.
