The Wind That Shakes the Barley (Ken, Loach, 2006)



The Wind That Shakes the Barley (Ken, Loach, 2006)
Rating: 9.6

A powerful and well executed politically heated film worthy of the Palm D'or at Cannes. The Wind That Shakes the Barley follows two brothers during the anti-British rebellion in 1920s Ireland; reminiscent of Rossellini's neorealist trilogy (Paisan, Rome, Open City, and Germany Year Zero).
