    Bobby Sands film

    To those who "are interested", does anybody know if the film, on Bobby Sands that was at Cannes, is going to have a release in the north? If not, how would you go about viewing it?

    As far as i know it will definitely be shown on either Channel 4 or FilmFour.

    Not sure if it will be in the cinemas though

    If its in the cinema i'll probobly head over the border, i wouldnt feel comfortable sitting in the middle of Belfast watching such a film, and no doubt the 'Millies and Spides' (as theyre known there) will ruin the film for me.

    I think it will appear in art house cinema's in Autumn.

    There's already a thread here.

    Thanks for the posts. Am looking forward to seeing the film. Watched "There will be blood" during the week, Daniel Day Lewis was brilliant. I put him up there with De Nero, Pachino, etc etc etc. He would have been a good choice for playing Bobby Sands. Though having not seen the new film yet, I should hold my judgement.
