A period drama set in 1920s Ireland. This film explores the impact of nationalism on a village and the consequences of Irish blood being spilt.
Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later, Red Eye) stars as Damien who is forced to choose between a medical career and independence of Britain during the Irish War of Independence.
His disarming blue eyes aren't smiling in this particular film about Irish nationalism. Freedom is symbolic throughout the film, in various shades of emerald. Some of the island were content to live under the British crown, others in a free state, others demanding complete freedom. 4/5
