“You speak Irish, but you don’t understand the language.” Let’s go!! WildCard Distr. in the UK has revealed the official trailer for a killer, unforgettable, energetic new rap musical film from Ireland called Kneecap. It premiered at Sundance earlier this year and received near universal acclaim (it ended up on my Top 10 Best of the Fest list). This film is legit! So good! Based on the origin story of the riotous and ground-breaking Irish-language rap trio Kneecap, the film stars the band’s original members Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí (also known as Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, JJ Ó Dochartaigh) in their acting debuts alongside Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender, with Simone Kirby, Jessica Reynolds, Fionnuala Flaherty, and Josie Walker. Set in west Belfast in 2019, it chronicles how fate brings the trio together and how they then go on to “change the sound of Irish music forever”. Winner of the Next Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival 2024. I’m a huge fan of this one – I hope it ends up becoming a big hit. // Continue Reading ›
