Deargdhúil: Anatomy of Passion

OBSAH

This riveting documentary explores the life, work and sensual poetic imagination of the revolutionary Irish poet Máire Mhac an tSaoi. Born in 1922, her story is set against a backdrop of a tumultuous century in Irish history in which she and her family were centrally involved. It is told from an intimate perspective through dramatic representations of a sequence of poems re-imagined and choreographed as short films intercut with her father's home movies and the poet's own commentary on her life and work. Featuring performance artist Maureen Fleming. (Máire Mhac an tSaoi passed away recently. Go ndéana Dia trócaire uirthi.)
