Cine Gael Montreal presents: "Rocky Road to Dublin" and "The Making Of The Rocky
Road To Dublin"
Screening Friday, February 10, 2006 at 7 p.m. at the
DeSeve Cinema, Concordia (1400 deMaisonneuve W.).
Decades before Michael Moore, Irish-born journalist Peter
Lennon and legendary French 'Nouvelle Vague' director of photography Raoul
Coutard managed to get a society to reveal itself on camera. In 'Rocky Road to
Dublin' (1968), Ireland's patriotic sportsmen, priests censors and
'brain-washed' children unwittingly convey the truth about a repressed,
suppressed and massively censored Republic.
Lennon and Coutard expose the hypocrisy of church,
politics and state through a series of seemingly 'innocent' interviews.
Unsurprisingly, after one screening in a Dublin cinema in
1968, it was suppressed for more than three decades -- never released in
Ireland nor ever shown on Irish television.
