Ondine

Irish writer and director Neil Jordan returns with a solid drama seamlessly woven with a fable. A fisherman who discovers a beautiful woman in his net can't believe his good fortune which leads him to believe she's a mythical creature. Jordan returns to his Irish roots for inspiration which pays off splendidly with terrific cast and crew. Colin Farrell delivers a nuanced performance that fits him well with solid support by the stunning Alicja Bachleda and Stephen Rea. Ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle captures the beautiful Irish scenery perfectly matched with the music of Sigur Rós that makes this film a special treat. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
