342 - Belfast

Eavesdropping at the Movies · Feb 8, 2022 · 31m

Kenneth Branagh writes and directs a drama based on his own childhood in Belfast, at the time the Troubles began. We discuss the portrayal of a happy family, the lack of effect almost every visual decision has, problems with the storytelling, and the nostalgia that runs throughout the film. It's not a skilful film, but it is a likeable one. Recorded on 3rd February 2022.
