I think I’ve only seen “The Wind That Shakes The Barley” once or twice. One of the enduring scenes from it (for me) is one of the characters wanting to be called by his Irish name while being held at gunpoint.
For me I was obsessed with his portrayal of Patrick “Kitten” Braden in 2006’s Breakfast on Pluto…
It was such an iconic movie, way ahead of it’s time and Cilian literally looks so beautiful as Kitten, it’s truly special.
Still remember the Brits going apeshit over this one. Good times.
The fingernail scene is forever burned into my brain. Great movie
great great film and shows how the idealism and realism of the revolution split.
even 100 years later I wondered was it still too soon after watching it.
“You shot an unarmed man in the back, Dennis!”
This is a great movie and there’s no doubt about it.Acting is superb.
It’s a dramatisation though. It is sometimes treated like this generation’s Michael Collins where some people compare it closer to being fact than a drama.
Also, I thought Roger Allam who played the Sir John part was brilliant in it.
Anyone know where I can stream it legally online ? Google says you can buy it from YouTube etc but anywhere I have checked it isn’t for sale/available to stream.
“…the butcher’s apron, boy…”
Chiming in from the States. I watched this years ago, thought it was a great performance and a stellar film. It’s definitely overlooked.
Is this the “Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin is ainm dom” one?
Seen it with my granny and granaunts when I was a child. It was the only time I ever saw them out, what a movie.
Directed by a Brit!
First time I tried to watch this with my non-Irish husband he had to turn on the subtitles to make any sense of it. Must be about time for a re-watch to see if he’s got any better at it over the years!
Iked sunshine but peaky blinders I add amazing (script I add brilliant on that tho)

Certainly better than Oppenheimer, which was pretty fucking boring and way dumber than it should have been.
