Comments on: Loach Irish Film Wins Cannes Big Prize http://irishkc.com/loach-irish-film-wins-cannes-big-prize.htm Kansas City Irish Festivals, Music, Pubs, & Events by an Artist in Ireland Sat, 26 May 2012 09:36:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Kevin Kiley http://irishkc.com/loach-irish-film-wins-cannes-big-prize.htm#comment-140 Kevin Kiley Mon, 29 May 2006 04:14:00 +0000 http://irishkc.com/?p=542#comment-140 In the offical press conference at Cannes for TWTSTB Ken Loach himself said he wants the file to be released in North America. He didn't say what, if anything, might be standing in the way and now that it is, in fact, the TOP film at Cannes it would be very, very strange if there wasn't SOME kind of release over here. It would take some pretty strange forces at work at this point to actually stop it from playing here. Does everyone realize that Mairtin actually 'sings' in the film? It wasn't scripted but when Ken Loach heard Mairtin singing on the set they worked a scene into the movie where his character "Sean" sings something. Congratulations to everyone involved with TWTSTB!

Moretti's film got a very mixed reaction, and Linklater's and Coppola's didn't go down too well so overall The Wind That Shakes The Barley was always in with a chance in a likely three-horse race It did seem to be consistently received across the board, and highly regarded though both volver and especially Babel seemed to create a bigger wow.
