  • Perhaps he was stressed because all he could drink there was "Old Spice" aftershave and maybe that is why he didn't shave too!!!!

  • i wouldn't have picked that particular soundtrack or is it tract-Dylan Thomas wasn't off the deep-end,was he?maybe i missed something.

  • as far as I know Dylan Thomas wasn't a tortured artist - he was a happy one for the most part - and one that enjoyed drinking beer in pubs and writing obscene limericks while e did so. Carmina Burana is way too dramatic for this.

  • I can't work out if this is supposed to be funny or not but it's hilarious.

    Like Monty Pythons idea of a tortured writer lol.

  • WOW! This is gripping! The actor portrays really expressively the tormented soul of the writer. Amazing scenery too!

  • Actually this was filmed in the same valley that Thomas actually stayed in - Glenlough, Port, Co. Donegal. And it is pretty wild out there... so yes, it is realistic.

  • Hilarious.

  • This is a little cliche....predictable! which ever you prefer. However its also very entertaining and the makers have broadened my horizons .

    Thank you

  • Absolutely brilliant!!

  • The musical piece is 'O fortuna - Carmina Burana' by Carl Orff. It reflects the highs and lows of life, like the waxing and waning of the moon. A bit like the Donegal highlands that beautifully reflect the different shades of green - from bright fresh to the gloomy greys. Agree, Donegal has warmth despite the bleeding rain. But, sometimes its mans inability to be alone that drives him nuts. "Solitude vivifies; isolation kills." Good work James, keep the creative juices flowing.
