The Wind That Shakes the Barley / Germany/Italy/Spain/France/Ireland/UK / 2006
More sweeping in scope than Land and Freedom, but lacking the grittiness and searing emotional intimacy that made some of Loach’s previous offerings, such as My Name is Joe and Sweet Sixteen, so memorable. To be honest, I’m a bit surprised that this captured the Palme d’Or at Cannes last year – while it boasts an absorbing narrative that touches on the complexities of the political situation at hand, it lacks the formal inventiveness that has characterized recent winners such as Dancer in the Dark, Elephant, and L’Enfant.
