SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: Belfast
DESCRIPTION:BELFAST  2021\, 98 minutes \nDirected by Kenneth Branagh and based his own childhood experiences in 1969 Northern Ireland\, this film chronicles a working-class Protestant family as seen through the eyes of Buddy\, a nine-year-old boy. With his parents trying to make ends meet and not to get caught up in the escalating strife\, Buddy feels the pressure to “take a side” while at same time befriending a Catholic girl. With solid performances from Jamie Dornan\, Caitríona Balfe\, Judi Dench\, and Jude Hill as young Buddy\, Belfast is both heartbreaking and inspiring as it depicts people trying holding on to their better angels amidst snowballing hatred. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG-13\, with smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, sexual innuendo\, and all the violence and mayhem connected to the Troubles.

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)
