The Wind That Shakes the Barley**
Ipswich Film Theatre

In Ireland in 1920, a young doctor decides to quit the opportunity of a medical practice in order to join his brother in the IRA, but subsequent political events also drive them apart.
Powerful, hard-hitting Loach political melodrama done in his usual compelling style, although often rather unintelligible, both as a narrative and in its use of ethnic regional accents, and the ingredients don't quite mix together as successfully as they did for the similarly plotted Land and Freedom.
