📖 The Scoop
Starting with his Oscar winning "My Left Foot," Jim Sheridan has consistently produced films that aspire to fuse commercial values with the artistic exploration of Irish life in the past and today. This book explores how embedded in the wider political concerns of his films are two overriding personal themes: father-son relationships and the aspirations of the young disadvantaged male to break free from the limitations of class and neighborhood. The tensions between these two themes provide the films' narrative dynamic, while they can be read as allegories of his political concerns. Sheridan's films have often courted controversy, and this book looks both at the films in themselves and at the critical reception to them. "My Left Foot", "In the Name of the Father", and "The Boxer" count among Sheridan's best-known works as a director. -- Publisher description
