On a Clear Day
An inspirational film with an incredibly relevant message to us all.
I’m not going to yield to the temptation to take a personal view, real life is too complicated.
Just, if you can, watch the film.
Here’s the summary from Wikipedia. More background to the film is on the IMDB website including this review:
I saw this movie at Sundance, and it was brilliant. Beautiful shots, wonderful acting and such a moving story! It made me cry, it made me laugh (with Billy Boyd as much of the comic relief!), it made me want to see it again! Gaby Dellal’s direction was spot on, and the emotions from each of the characters was so true, that I wanted to cheer Frank (Peter Mullan)) on while swimming the English Channel and console him when he felt like he couldn’t do anything.
The only thing that I had an “issue” with, was that at a few moments, the Scottish accent was so thick that I missed what was said.
Some scenes from the film follow:
Finally, more on Peter Mullan, a very powerful actor.
