Classics of Pagan Cinema: “Pagan nonsense, celebrating the feast of Lughnasadh. This is the month of August. The feast of our lady’s assumption into heaven.” Meg Elison returns with a review of the 1998 Irish-American film “Dancing at Lughnasa,” which juxtaposes Catholic misery and Pagan joy.

McDonnell was a truly gifted visual artist and filmmaker. His work as a photographer, cinematographer, and director of documentaries displayed a keen observational eye and a notable talent for composition. 🎥🎞️🎬 🇮🇪 🎥 📸 #CineMastodon #documentaries #IrishCinema #filmmakers #photographers #cinematographers

Check out the beautiful documentary COLONY [2009], if you’re unfamiliar with his work.

Although it didn't move me as much as Aftersun, I must also add my voice to the chorus of praise already out there for The Quiet Girl.
It's so beautifully acted by all, so quietly affecting with every word and little gesture, and a reminder that the smallest kindnesses can make major differences in the ongoing development of a child.

Watched "The Banshees of Innesherin" and "The Wonder".
Just not entirely sure what to say, except Banshees was more traumatising than comedy. So dark and moody.
And Id gladly have slain the council of churchmen in The Wonder.

"The Quiet Girl" .. now there's a masterpiece 💕
