Review of The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) by Alex F — 21 Aug 2008
IRA, 1920. With this sort of movies you always wonder which side is being taken but I was pleasantly surprised to find an unbiased movie about both sides struggles with their own believes. Ken Loach doesn't dissapoint us with the realism he often portrays in his films.
I was touched by the piece of a song ( The Wind That Shakes the Barley) sang by an old village woman at a funeral because it felt so real. I also liked that the director seemed to play with colour a little.
The movie was very green in its tones as well as more obvious things like the scenery and even the clothes. Overall, a satisfaying and interesting movie.
