A question of taste: Deirdre O’Donovan
I’ve just finished Emma Jane Kirby’s The Optician of Lampedusa, about the rescue of migrants off the Italian island.
I went to the Fastnet Film Festival in Schull last month and totally enjoyed Peter Foott’s The Young Offenders — I must be one of the few people from Cork who hadn’t seen it. What I loved most was the great Irish humor and the love and warmth between the characters. It has to be a comtemporary Irish classic.
