Forgive Me

Warning: Spoilers
The film spans 2 eras in Irish history. In 1916 a young priest in a rural town leads villagers and a young boy in the Dublin uprising. Years later in 1969, they come together again.

Overall the film was excellent but sad. It doesn't make any kind of statement about the struggle for Irish Independence, other than families get destroyed.

English subtitles.

Difficult subject simplified

A very difficult subject simplified. The foreign films slated for the Oscar this year were all masterpieces. Cold War, Shoplifters, Roma, Capernaum. All were amazing, jaw dropping this film should have a place at 2021. I had a tear running down my cheek - Penance simply broke my heart. This is film making is so good. See more
