One of our members Rod McHugh sent us this great account of watching Calvary the other day:<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s been awhile since the Audi\u2019s taken me downtown, but today we braved the disarray of black and gold demonstrators along the thoroughfare leading to the parkin\u2019 garage on Hitt and Cherry in order to see a pic at the Ragtag. Without too much fanfare I\u2019d like to say the little film from Ireland, Calvary, was well worth the bit o\u2019 trouble the journey might have encountered. As Jon, one of the Ragtag team, introduced this film, he mentioned it was a bit dark with a little humor, but it was dark. I thought of posin\u2019 the question, \u201c\u2019Tis an Irish film, is it not? Den t\u2019 darkness an\u2019 th\u2019 humor would be well-suited sisters.\u201d Calvary is one of the finest films I\u2019ve ever seen; \u2019<\/span>twas a grand look at life and consciousness of being brilliantly presented and portrayed by the ensemble, the music and o\u2019 corz the scenery set in County Sligo. I shan\u2019t give away anything to encourage, \u201cYe must see this fine, intelligent, and deeply moving film before \u2019<\/span>tis whisked away.\u201d All I shall say, and I don\u2019t believe this gives anyt\u2019ing away: as the film ended and went to credits, not one person moved nor made comment. We all sat thar in silence for the longest time; only one lad got up, excused himself to his company and left; the rest of us sat in our silence, save a sniffle or two. The credits ended, the lights came up, and we sat dar silently still. Ah, to be shore, this is a film ye must see. Ye have choice: Italy \u2026 or Ireland. I vote the latter, or me family\u2019s not from Counties Cork and Clare!<\/span><\/p>\n
