An Gobán Saor (1994) User Reviews

In my view this is an excellent observation of traditional life in the real world of the "Gaeltacht".

In my view this film shews some of the conflicts of real life as it occurs within the "Gaeltacht" the Irish speaking world and give just an inkling of the richness that is tucked away in one of the oldest undiluted cultures of Europe; a culture which is under threat but from which we can gain fresh literary insight by viewing this and other similar films made in a minority language such as Irish. I hope it will inspire others to examine the humour and pathos of Irish Culture and the richness of a truly descriptive and emotive language.
