Directed by Alan Clarke, this 1989 film is a stark and unflinching portrayal of the violence in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. The movie is notable for its minimalist approach, featuring a series of unconnected scenes depicting various acts of violence without any dialogue or background music. This unique style emphasizes the brutal reality of the conflict. While it did not receive any major awards, it remains a significant work in Clarke’s filmography. For those interested, it can be viewed on Soap2day for free.
