Part of our July Clinton St. Resistance Series with proceeds benefiting Sisters of the Road.
An Irish fisherman discovers a woman in his fishing net whom his precocious daughter believes to be a selkie.
Written and directed by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Interview with a Vampire) with cinematography by Christopher Doyle (Chungking Express, In the Mood for Love).
Some complexities of story will be lost on audiences not tuned to the regional Irish brogue that is the mother tongue of this little fishing community. But Christopher Doyle’s dark lush photography plucks the green coast of Cork like a harp.”

It’s impossibly romantic; Farrell and real-life partner Bachleda exude a tamped-down longing that intensifies as the movie draws to its conclusion.
