Best review (and an exceptional one as well) of The Wind That Shakes the Barley

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

The Wind That Shakes the Barley won the Palme d'Or at last year's Cannes festival, to the puzzlement of those who prefer a bolder, more outgoing style of cinema. I'm one of them, sometimes. But the grain of the title puts me in mind of everything that nourishes you in the film: its frankness, probity, care and intelligence, offered not just in crumbs but as a whole loaf. I wish this could be our daily bread.
