✨ a film for every year of my life ✨ | Belfast (2021) dir. Kenneth Branagh

I wouldn’t worry about it, the Irish were born for leaving. Otherwise the rest of the world would have no pubs. Just needs half of us to stay so that the other half can get sentimental about the ones that went. All the Irish need to survive is a phone, a Guinness, and a sheet music to Danny Boy.

I talk about Merthur so much that my parents didn't even blink when today, I said BBC Merthur instead of BBC Merlin

Kenneth Branagh's 3rd Hercule Poirot movie is coming!

Branagh is back starring as detective Hercule Poirot and returns as director for A Haunting in Venice from 20th Century Studios.

This time around, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh, Jude Hill and Kelly Reilly have been recruited for the all-star ensemble, with Emma Laird, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Ali Khan and Riccardo Scamarico also on the call sheet. Their character names have yet to be revealed.

Production is set to begin October 31 2022, Halloween Day, which is fitting since Haunting is inspired by the 1969 Christie novel, Hallowe'en Party.

That story saw the mystery set in motion when a 13-year old girl, who claimed she witnessed a murder when she was younger, is found dead in an apple-bobbing tub. The studio described the adaptation, written by Michael Green, as an "unsettling supernatural-thriller" and shared its logline: "Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world's most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets."

"This is a fantastic development of the character Hercule Poirot, as well as the Agatha Christie franchise," said Branagh in a statement. "Based on a complex, little known tale of mystery set at Halloween in a pictorially ravishing city, it is an amazing opportunity for us, as filmmakers, and we are relishing the chance to deliver something truly spine-chilling for our loyal movie audiences."

Judy Hofflund is back as a producer. Exec producers include Louise Killin and James Prichard, along with filmmakers Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg and Mark Gordon.

Abbiamo tutti una storia da raccontare. Ma quello che ci rende uno diverso dall'altro non è come finisce questa storia, ma piuttosto da dove è cominciata.

Somehow I haven’t really heard anything or anyone about this film. Which I don’t quite understand, because it’s actually a beautiful film. I love the way it was shot, great cast and just a story worth telling. Is it a new favorite of mine? No. But I do recommend it. Belfast received the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Kenneth Branagh.

BELFAST: A Compelling Movie Based on Northern Ireland

Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical account, BELFAST, is a treat to watch. This visually stunning and emotionally captivating movie tells a remarkable tale of Belfast in 1969, at a time when Northern Ireland was raging civil war. As tensions between the Catholics and the Protestants in the city are rising during the period referred to as “the troubles”, Branagh depicts Belfast through Buddy…

Belfast – Film Review

It’s impossible not to be charmed by Kenneth Branagh’s personal, warm-hearted movie about the city of his childhood, even if it’s ultimately a tad too slight to really hit hard emotionally. Continue reading Untitled

Rookie-Critic's Top 20 Films of 2021: #10 - Belfast (dir. Kenneth Branagh)

A front-runner for the Best Picture win this year, Belfast presents a pretty dark time in Northern Ireland's history through the perspective of innocence incarnate, Buddy. This semi-autobiographical and very out of character film from thespian Kenneth Branagh is one of the most easily endearing of the year. Jude Hill is just about one of the cutest kids to ever grace the big screen and watching this story unfold through his eyes makes the bitter pill of The Troubles a little easier to swallow. Caitriona Balfe also gives a stunning performance as the mother of the central family and the soundtrack, which largely consists of songs by Van Morrison, is utilized to its fullest. It's one of those movies that has a kind of hidden charm, where the parts aren't bad by any means, but the whole ends up being so much greater than the sum of those parts. There's really not much to complain about with Belfast, just a very easy, heartwarming, fun time.

Score: 10/10

Currently available for streaming on HBO Max.

（短評）映画『ベルファスト』

『ベルファスト』（2021円、英国）

プロテスタント住民がカトリック住民を攻撃し始めて生まれたベルファストの分断を、9歳の少年とその家族の視点で描く😣

悲惨な現実に翻弄される大人たちと無邪気に世界を捉える子供の様子を並行して描く点が面白く、暴力や時代の変化の中で強く生きる人々に胸を打たれました‼️

この映画を見ると宗教や思想的な対立で市民同士が暴力的に争うことの愚かさを目の当たりにします‼️

主人公バディが最後に父��に投げかける質問の答えが本当に大切👍

昨今の日本の風潮含め、世界情勢から市民レベルでの差別や排他的な感覚についても当てはまるような射程の長い映画だと思います👌

大人たちの陰惨な様子が描かれると同時に、子供のバカさやユーモラスな視座が上手く組み込まれているので、結構ニコニコしちゃう場面も多いし、思ったより明るい仕上りでした‼️

モノクロ映像ですが、室内も屋内もコントラストがしっかりしててパキッとした見やすい映像で良かったです🎥

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

基本的にモノクロ映画なんですが、主人公の少年とバディが観ている映画や演劇はカラーで写されるんです‼️

そしてそれを見る子供も大人も素敵な笑顔✨

どんな時も映画や演劇、そして音楽など創作物こそが僕たちの心を救ってくれるのだと実感させられました🥲

映画『チキ・チキ・バン・バン』を家族で観に行った場面で僕は泣いてしまいました😭

それぞれいろいろ先の不安を抱えてる状態だけど、映画館ではみんな心から驚いたり笑ったりして、そんな屈託ない様子が本当に素敵で、これからも映画を好きでいようと思いましたよ🌟

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

暴動の最中に子供が起こした無邪気な行動に対して、お母さんがマジ顔でその行動を正す場面💨

あそこは素晴らしかったです‼️

どんな状況でも、正しい行動と変わらず持ち続けるべき信念を保つ、人間の気高さを垣間見せられた場面でした😢

自分もああいう親でなければ💧

Hin und wieder dreht Kenneth Branagh dann doch einen schönen Film. Seine fiktiven Kindheitserinnerungen aus dem unruhengeplagten Belfast von 1969 sind ganz großes Kino.
