SATURDAY 30 April (Please Note Saturday NOT Sunday)
Belfast - Door Open 7:30 Movie Starts 8:00pm
With Belfast, Kenneth Branagh shifts gears rewardingly from his Agatha Christie
adaptations to a far more personal film about his childhood in Northern Ireland.
Set in 1969 during the height of the conflicts between Protestants and Catholics,
the feature mainly steers clear of politics to focus on family drama instead. I
would guess that Branagh drew inspiration from John Boorman’s masterful 1987
film about his childhood during World War II, Hope and Glory. That is a high bar
to match, and Branagh doesn’t quite reach it, but he brings off moments of
humor and pathos that leave a lasting impact.
Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh, Belfast is
a poignant story of love, laughter and loss in one boy’s childhood amid the music
and social tumult of the late 1960s. Buddy’s family lives in a largely Protestant
district with a few Catholic families, but one day his community and everything
he thought he understood about life is suddenly turned upside down.
Buddy’s family gets caught in the mayhem and must decide to stay or leave the
only place they have ever called home. Through it all, his passionate parents
(Caitríona Balfe and Jamie Dornan) and quick-witted grandparents (Academy
Award® winner Judy Dench and Ciarán Hinds) keep the joy alive through music
and the magic of movies in this feel-good story that reminds us that no matter
how far you go, you never forget where you came from.
