    It's either published in 1982 or 1992!? That's a ten year difference for god's sake. In that time I would build an underworld empire and run and ruin it like a blood-thirsty, bat-blind vampire by monotonous repetitions and too many blood sacrifices to boot; and that's not even a cliché, let alone a stretch. As ancient as this film looks and as archaic as its ethos and chamber music sound, it is not of any earlier production than of the year 1992 AD. Quite a shocking realisation but such is the grip and gist of history that one misses its true nature and destructive momentum for some cheap soap opera spin-off, lazy stock theatre piece, tableau of obscene burlesque or simplistic zimzalabim s(l)ide show while the infamous present moment is supposedly so surreal, palpable and real as if you were doing it with the Lady Oblivion or something all the time losing track of time. But alas, little did we know about the scheming, stealthy character of the motion picture called Hegelian progress as it unfolds before our indifferent eyes like a slow motion footage of a snail crossing a rusty Celtic cross on a god forsaken graveyard turned to a shopping mall parking lot somewhere in the suburbs of Dublin. - Yes, I'd better stop here or I will never catch the phrase I am after in my work of genius that is under progress but the progress is under heavy renovation and bombardment of criticism. Hello History, my old friend, don't you lull us on the bend. RIP Seamus Heaney, Richard Ellman, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yates, James Joyce, and the rest of the resting cast cast into the shadowy gates of aforementioned Oblivion, all the good guys gone and the man in the wind and the west moon; we salute you.

    Wilde seems shoe-horned into the triumvirate, somewhat, in the sense that he is not remotely as identified with Ireland as the other two, whether that is fair or not. Not complaining, though, as it was a pleasure to listen to the exchange of thoughts on him as much as on the others.

    • @annehebert510
      @annehebert510 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      True about Wilde and Shaw, but Yeats was very close to Ireland his whole life. He was the major figure of the Irish Literary Revival centered in Dublin, was partly responsible for getting the Abbey Theatre up and running, and was later a senator in the senate of the new Irish Free State. He was always much more involved in Irish political and cultural life than Wilde or Shaw; or Joyce or Beckett for that matter.

      They are not Gaelic surnames like O’Neill or such. Joyce is actually probably the most native Irish out of them all. I think that’s what has been noticed. These people are mostly the descendants of landed Anglo gentry and not of the native Gaelic population.

      According to its listing at a university library, it is definitely from 1982. It does not appear to have much traction, and may even qualify as “lost media,” in the sense that there is very little information about it despite it starring poet Seamus Heaney. This documentary does not even have a listing on Letterboxd, and that site contains a listing of most everything ever once filmed.
