In America (2002 Jim Sheridan)

A semi-autobiographical film, written by Jim and his daughters Naomi and Kirsten, and dedicated to Jim's brother Frank, who died when he was ten. A Big film, well overdue.

Paddy Considine, Samantha Morton, Sarah Bolger and Emma Bolger are phenomenal as the family; Djimon Hounsou is their neighbour who becomes a friend. It's set and filmed in Hell's Kitchen, a traditionally actory / Irish-American area to the West of Broadway, between 34th and 59th Street and Eighth Avenue.

Photographed by Declan Quinn.
