About this movie

A dark journey into the mind of a troubled Irish boy whose obsession with maintaining his family's honor leads him to commit a gruesome murder and eventually have a nervous breakdown. Starring Stephen Rea ("FearDotCom," "Interview With the Vampire"), Fiona Shaw (the "Harry Potter" movies, "The Avengers"), and pop-star Sinead O'Connor. Directed by Oscar-winner Neil Jordan ("The End of the Affair," "Interview With the Vampire"). "Brilliantly bold... a brutally honest exploration of a disturbed mind that is both horrific and darkly comic... an instant classic... without a doubt Neil Jordan's most startlingly original and accomplished film..." -- Daily Variety

Now I know why the English treated the Irish the way they did. There simply is no excuse for them. Especially those with red hair. Teddible, teddible...
