Review of The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) by Ut S — 06 Sep 2008
Ken Loach's political drama gives a chilling description of the Irish uprising during the 1920's. The radical approach by director shows the brutality committed by the British troops (The Black & Tans squads) & the Irish as well. It is also a humane drama about two Irish brothers and change in their mindset as the war gets murkier.
