The film Belfast, directed by Kenneth Branagh, is now available on CANAL+! It’s the perfect opportunity to discover this landmark movie, entirely dedicated to the childhood of the Northern Irish director and actor! A masterpiece you absolutely must see!
A tribute film to the city of Belfast and its people
A portrait of Kenneth Branagh’s childhood during the Troubles
The film Belfast continues to make waves! Tipped to win multiple awards this year (including an Oscar), it has now arrived on French-speaking screens via Canal+.
And it would be a shame to miss it! Belfast is undoubtedly Kenneth Branagh’s most intimate and personal film. He takes the opportunity to depict his childhood in a Protestant neighborhood of the city in 1969, during the Troubles.
Shot in black and white, the film portrays everyday life at the time—a period full of contrasts, where Belfast feels both innocent and terrifying. Strangely, the film is carried by a constant sense of good humor, making it truly worth watching! Add to that an exceptional cast featuring Jamie Dornan, Catriona Balfe, and Judi Dench, and you’ll understand why this is a major film!
Don’t miss it: it’s one of the greatest films about Ireland in recent years!
