The TVI Take
1992 Best Picture nominee. An IRA soldier develops an unexpected relationship that challenges every assumption.
High cognitive demands from the political and personal deceptions. Educational value from the Northern Irish conflict context. The film's famous twist is actually its least interesting element — the real subject is the fluidity of identity.
