Secret of Roan Inish, The (1994)

IMDB The Secret of Roan Inish
Basic Plot: A mythical Irish tale following the selkie legends.  Based on the novel The Secret of Ron Mor Skerry, by Rosalie K. Fry.

Outburst: I love Irish mythology, folklore about the sea, and stories involving selkies.  So I’m just a little  biased when I see a traditional selkie tale made real through the magic of the screen.  It’s wonderfully done and highly recommended for anyone who finds Ireland or folktales fascinating.  Otherwise, you mind find the story too cutesy.  In some aspects it is perfect for the family (non-violent, non-scary), but some prudish-types might be put off by the little naked boy running around briefly in some scenes.  You’ll have to listen closely to understand everything being said, the accents are authentically Irish.

/DVD (2 of 3 stars) – If you savor retellings of popular folktales, it is worthy of your collection.  For the regular movie-watcher, it’s worth watching once and moving on.

I’m impressed, I must say. Actually hardly ever do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you could have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent; the problem is something that not sufficient persons are talking intelligently about. I am very joyful that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing relating to this.
