In the Name of the Father
Movie (1993)
Jim Sheridan's controversial but impassioned Oscar-nominated drama adapted from the autobiography of Guildford Four member Gerry Conlon, chronicling his tireless efforts to overturn a life sentence imposed for his alleged involvement with the IRA. Daniel Day-Lewis (who also worked with Sheridan on the Academy Award-winning My Left Foot) gives, as ever, an incredibly powerful, tormented performance, and the wonderful supporting cast includes an emotional Pete Postlethwaite, plus Emma Thompson and John Lynch. A definite must-see.
