Brooklyn - LaF 125

February 20, 2016 in LAF Podcast

Welcome to this special edition of LaF: LaF goes to the Oscars. 

Today's film is director John Crowley's critically acclaimed 1950's period drama, Brooklyn. Boasting impressive acting performances from Saoirse Ronan as young lass Eilis; Emory Cohen as her Italian working-class boyfriend, Tony; and Domhnall Gleason as Jim Farrell, this movie effectively captures the Irish Immigrant experience and examines the intense conflict between responsibility and romance. In addition to Best Picture, the film earned two other Oscar nominations for best actress and best adapted screenplay for Nick Hornby based on Colm Toibin's novel of the same name. 

Join us as the LaF Podcast takes the long, arduous journey by freighter to and from Ireland to review the film Brooklyn.
