The Wind That Shakes the Barley / Ireland/UK/France/Germany/Italy/Spain / 2006

A Picasso to Neil Jordan’s preemptive 1996 Elmyr de Hory, though viewing Michael Collins will heartlessly ruin the progression of Paul Laverty’s story. When Damien and Teddy argue over the treaty in a small, musty-aired room, it feels oh-so familiar: Liam Neeson’s Michael Collins and Alan Rickman’s Eamon de Valera arguing over the treaty in a large, musty-aired room. In each instance, both men are surrounded by their brethren—once friends and allies, and now divided foes. A well-constructed allegory, perhaps, or a story of how the desire for freedom—fighting, killing, and dying for something so precious—can trickle down into the hearts of everyone.
