One of the those minor forgotten gems of cinema. Uneven and with a non-professional cast of mostly teenagers, has there ever been a more complex and insightful portrait of 'the troubles' in Northern Ireland. The death of a British soldier is treated with reverence, and the film goes in deep to look at cultural difference behind the conflict, using allegory to shine a light on the situation. Possibly started out as a community development theater piece it was a minor underground hit in Australia in the early 1980s. A good example of complex intelligent filmmaking that uses a complex idea of form to tell its story that packs a punch.
