good alongside the accompanying documentary
A very eloquent, and honest portrait of a priest-ridden emotionally-stunted Ireland in the sixties accompanied on the DVD by a fairly decent documentary fronted by Peter Lennon that revisits Ireland lately.
Its frightening to see boys being drilled catechism in the sixties and beautiful to see a young Dub happily shrugging dis-knowledge of the same cant, in the same Christian Brothers school thirty or more years later. -

Rocky Road to Dublin
I saw this at a film festival a few years ago and was delighted to get the chance to see it again. It is a gentle, and visually beautiful film, you really get the sense of a capsule of history, and of the importance that it was captured. It's important to watch the accompanying documentary as well as the main film, Raoul Coutard, the French cameraman who worked alongside Truffaut, filmed from an outsiders perspective, and it's great to see the interviews with him.
