Adam and Paul

For those who liked Trainspotting, you may want to check out an Irish film called Adam and Paul. It was filmed in Dublin and the writer and actors are mostly from a local theatre company. (I'm going to see their latest show tonight.) Evidently, they base a lot of their work in commedia dell'arte. It doesn't show on the surface of this film, but, if you're familiar with the style, you'll see it at the foundation of the characters.

For those who just want to see an interesting, somewhat unintelligible (muttering, Dublin accents...not as difficult to understand as Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, but may frustrate some), and touching film about "current" Dublin, check it out. It was filmed in 2004 and as I watched it I could recognize a lot of the places where it was filmed around town.
