The Wind that Shakes the Barley

Thanks to brothers Chris Cahillane and Ed Blank for passing along information about a great new Irish movie, The Wind that Shakes the Barley that many of us have been waiting for since it won the Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival last May.

The movie opened in New York on March 16, pegged to St. Patrick's Day and will play its Pittsburgh engagement at Regent Square Theater starting April 20. Ed is looking into group rates for Irish organizations.

Here is a great review by NPR and another by the New York Times.

Here is a backgrounder on the movie - but be warned - if you don't want to know how the movie ends, don't read too much!

FYI - The Regent Square Theatre is located at 1035 S. Braddock Avenue in Pittsburgh and can be reached by phone at 412.681.5449.
