Stars: Catrin Stewart, Dyfan Dwyfor, Carwyn Glyn, Sharon Morgan, Ryland Teifi | Written by Fflur Dafydd | Directed by Euros Lyn
I have to admit, I’ve never really taken notice if a film is Welsh, but The Library Suicides (aka Y Llyfrgell) is different. Actually, in Welsh, it stands out as a film that feels more a part of Nordic Noir than British in style and manages to be something a bit different and special.
When famous author Elena Wdig (Sharon Morgan) commits suicide, she leaves her twin daughters, librarians Ana and Nan (both played by Catrin Stewart) to deal with the loss. Her final words to them suggest the name of a man who may have murdered her, leading them to look for revenge.
One thing that is noticeable about The Library Suicides is the theme of duality. While to go too far into what happens in the movie would spoil the experience,...

"If you leave enough behind, then death isn't the end." Soda Pictures has debuted an official UK trailer for The Library Suicides, a film from Wales made entirely in the Welsh language. It's adapted from Fflur Dafydd’s bestselling novel titled Y Llyfrgell, the original Welsh title, and it's about two identical twin sisters who investigate the suicide (or potential murder) of their mother, who was a librarian at the National Library of Wales. Actress Catrin Stewart (best known from "Doctor Who" and "Stella") plays dual roles as both daughters, and the cast also includes Dyfan Dwyfor, Ryland Teifi, Carwyn Glyn and Sharon Morgan. The way this trailer plays out, I would say it looks more fun than it does "thrilling". Take a look. Here's the official trailer for Euros Lyn's The Library Suicides, direct from YouTube: The Library Suicides (Y Llyfrgell), the debut feature from award-winning director Euros Lyn,...
