B3 and I both really liked this 2006 look at the Irish rebellion of 1920-21 from Ken Loach. An exciting and sometimes brutal look at the horrors of the events of that period. Torture is the name of the game in all imperialist battles. The film won Cannes’s Palm D’Or that year. Very tough to watch in some places, it nonetheless shows the horrible treatment of the Irish by the Brits (including the infamous Black and Tans) and the splits that emerged with the compromise creation of the Irish Free State. It turned brother against brother metaphorically and, in this film, literally. Well done all around, although it does have the usual internal discourse of all Loach films where the principals argue the main points out for you and let you make up your own mind. The points are presented so that you’ll have to chose, rather like in “Land and Freedom” and “Bread and Roses”. The DVD has an excellent 45 minute feature that examines Loach’s career (he has suffered for his mix of art and left politics) and directorial style (standing midway between Mike Leigh and the more scripted work of Hollywood). Up the Revolution!. See this one
