Angela's Ashes

 

Ireland 1999, 139 minutes
Dir. Alan Parker
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama

Topics: Biopic, Period 1930s.

 

Aroview: Lovingly-detailed adaptation of Frank McCourt's best-selling memoir of the worst kind of childhood - the deprived Irish Catholic one.

Strives to capture the sensitivity of the prose - but if anything, McCourt's ear for comedy gets overly blunted in the process. By way of compensation, kiwi-born cinematographer Michael Seresin provides some of the most painterly images seen on screen, and casting wise, the unknown youngsters playing Angela's family shine.
