Lights, Camera, Anton
A movie to watch out for, folks - set in the bandit country of Cavan during the 1970s against a backdrop of Norn Iron's 'Troubles', Anton
is a gritty thriller about a good man doing bad things for all the right reasons. Anthony Fox (right) wrote the script, and also stars, Graham Cantwell directs, while Gerard McSorley chips in with - shock-horror, etc. - a borderline psycho portrait of a bent copper. We should probably 'fess up and say that we've been known on occasion to drink a tincture of dry sherry with the producer, Pat McArdle, but we saw the extended thriller of this one a few months ago and it looks the business - we're thinking it might just be the best Irish crime movie since I Went Down, and the movie that puts a smidge of credibility back into the Irish film industry. Yep, it looks that good ... The trailer should be ready to run any day now, so stay in touch and we'll keep you posted.

ReplyDeleteSaw the new trailor the other night. The story looks interesting, but the the kudos has to go the how it looks. No Fair City lighting here. The DP should be working for David Fincher - it's got that cold, slick look to it.
I hate to get excited - it's an Irish movie after all - but I'm getting excited about this one. It could year zero for Irish movies!!!!
This sounds like something I've got to see. I'll be looking for more info about release dates, etc.
