Winner of the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film
Festival, Belfast born writer-director Sir Kenneth Branagh's
Belfast is an apolitical, semi-autobiographical, coming of age story.
Set in the backdrop of the seven months that kicked off the 1969
domestic upheaval, Belfast is told from the viewpoint of
nine-year-old Buddy (Jude Hill), who lives in a mixed neighborhood with his
loving father (Jamie Dornan), mother (Caitriona Balfe) and grandparents
(Dame Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds).
Marked by strong direction and ensemble, it is the exceptional high
contrast, mostly monochromatic cinematography by Haris Zambarloukos that
brings to front youth's nostalgic innocence.
