Irish Catholic-Surreal, Wild.
I first experienced IRISH CATHOLIC at the Louisville International Film Festival, where there were technical difficulties, resulting on only the first fifteen minutes of the film being shown. I watched the rest of it at home.
Having no experience with being Catholic, some of the nuance, feeling, and things most Catholics would know right away were lost to me.
The film is a head trip with a lot of wild non-sequitors. A marriage of FORBIDDEN ZONE, MARAT SADE, and THE OFFICE might come close to describing it. I enjoyed the film, but I could see it baffling and maybe triggering a lot of viewers, especially since there's a forewarning that you need to be prepared to be offended. I wasn't, as I not easily offended, especially concerning religion.
I heartily recommend checking this out, instead of the same old INDIANA JONES 5-type crap that proliferates every cinemaplex across America these days.
