Ken Loach's Palme d'Or winning film is not only about the founding of the IRA but the passions that brought it into being. As two brothers (Cillian Murphy, Padraic Delaney) are driven to militancy by British oppression (portrayed as all-too-resonant cruelty perpetrated on a civilian population), the film integrates politics and melodrama seamlessly. Objective? Not on your life. Powerful? Like an explosion on a quiet day.
