Fiona Murphy
Ireland | 2010 | 58mins | Beta | Colour
Fiona Murphy’s documentary takes a quizzical look at the childhood of five siblings born into Ireland’s Protestant Ascendancy just as it was being dismantled. The brothers and sisters of the poet Richard Murphy have each devised a different account of who they really were. English? Irish? Children of the Empire? The film follows them back to County Mayo in the West of Ireland, to the house where they grew up. All of them see the hilarious and absurd in the world they belonged to, but they bear the wounds of losing it too.
