Adapted by Eugene O'Brien from his own play, directed (beautifully) by Declan Recks and with superb performances from all the cast (especially Aiden Kelly and Aileen Walsh in the lead roles), this Irish drama shows a week in the life of a married couple leading up to their anniversary.
That the marriage is falling apart is obvious to all; but while the wife tries to kick-start it, the husband (fuelled by booze) seeks action elsewhere.
A terrific film which criminally has yet to secure UK distribution as I write this, it's my favourite film of the festival and probably the best film I've seen this year. I made a point of telling this to producer David Collins during a very brief chat, since he appeared at last year's EIFF with ONCE, the film that turned out to be my favourite film of last year. That's not a bad record.
Actually, that just reminded me, I never did get round to coming up with a list of my favourite films of 2007. Well, maybe I'll still do it before this year's out, although I guess I just spoiled the ending.
But I digress. See EDEN any chance you get.
