Garage the film - bar scene

For further information visit www.garagethefilm.com

In the same spare style as their first award-winning film, Adam & Paul, director Lenny Abrahamson and writer Mark O'Halloran bring us Garage, a startling and hypnotic tragi-comedy from the margins of contemporary Irish life.

While it is exaggerated for the movie this scene is basically a true representation of the kind of thing that goes on every day in small town Ireland. What makes it particularly chilling, not to mention accurate, is that while the men outwardly project a harmless "just having a laugh" veneer of civility just under the surface is an intense viciousness and will to do serious harm-to utterly destroy another person from the inside out. An extreme form of passive aggression that is uniquely Irish.

The cruelty of small town Ireland is well illustrated in this scene.

@fukhedd i agree a true depiction of irish small town life

[davedirk]

This movie has greatness!! Funny as shit, with some sadness mixed in. A great Indie movie. If you find it, make sure you turn on the English subtitles. Great Irish Culture in this small town in Ireland. This is for hose-heads life me who appreciate the crazy and funny characters in movies. Go see it. peace out

@fukhedd

Cant help but agree with this.

Social constraints are all well and good, but there exists a capacity, in everyone, (not just Ireland I think) to adopt a mentality of superiority on any level and following this an enormous capacity to insult maliciously and maim indelibly another persons psyche.

If it's easier, all the better.

Tragic, but then Garage wouldn't be quite as good if this pathos was lessened.

Kudos to Pat Short.
