Nous étions tous des noms d'arbres (1983)
The troubles of Northern Island laid bare in this insightful film.
22 November 2015
One of the those minor forgotten gems of cinema. Uneven and with a non-professional cast of mostly teenagers, has there ever been a more complex and insightful portrait of 'the troubles' in Northern Ireland. The death of a British soldier is treated with reverence, and the film goes in deep to look at cultural difference behind the conflict, using allegory to shine a light on the situation. Possibly started out as a community development theater piece it was a minor underground hit in Australia in the early 1980s. A good example of complex intelligent filmmaking that uses a complex idea of form to tell its story that packs a punch.
