"A Love Divided" The hostilities between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland reach a boiling point in the controversy over a mixed-faith marriage in this fine drama based on true events. Set in a remote Irish village in the 1950s, the film recounts the conflict over the schooling of the couple's children in the mostly Catholic community. The mother refuses to bow to the pressure of the local priest, who insists the children attend Catholic school. Dismayed by her husband's lack of support, she flees to Scotland with her children, spurring a wave of anti-Protestant actions and violence. "...a small movie that tells a big story...It humanizes an ancient struggle that too often has been portrayed merely in political terms" (Constance Gorfinkle, The Patriot Ledger). 98 minutes. |
