it took me so long to watch this movie. It is one of the many that stayed on the shelf for months, that I started watching but "didn't feel"...
Today was the day I did.
Someone wrote "schockingly beautiful", and I can only agree.
There was some real chemistry between the main actors (and 1 actress!), and I got sympathy for almost all of them (although the villain played his role very well, too). Not being a native English speaker, I had some problems withe the accents, at times, but sometimes words are not that important, it's the eyes, it's the acts, it's... a lot more than words.
Is this a "gay themed movie"? I really don't know. Assuming Brendan Behan was bisexual, you could call it a "coming of age" movie, as USA-ers like to do. I don't know, this was just a very beautiful movie.
I didn't know Brendan Behan before, but I shall do some research and try to read him (if I can find his works here in Brussels...).
Based on the emotions I felt, this is a magnificent 10/10!
