Brothers


I had been wanting to see this film since I heard the director, Jim Sheridan, interviewed on NPR. This is a remake of a Danish film, Brodre, and has a very talented cast. It is such a well crafted film that it utterly enveloped me for 105 minutes. This film is a fantastic character study, each role being played to perfection. The parallels and contrasts are drawn out and revealed for us to absorb. Not light viewing, but so worthwhile and pertinent. I highly recommend this film; beautiful, and disturbing at the same time. Check this out at your library. M
