"We're here - welcome home, Saoirse!"

"Cillian, it's wonderful!"

Cillian, a young man with cloudy blue eyes and a mop of messy dark curls on his head, grinned lovingly at his red-haired wife, who gazed out at the tiny apartment with nothing but excitement. “It’s not much, but… it’s ours.”

Cillian O’Sullivan had been born in a tiny town in rural Ireland, and grown up dirt poor. As a boy, he had ambitiously dreamt of getting away from the life of begging, and instead building a fortune of his very own; every step of the way, he had been supported by his childhood best friend, Saoirse. The two married in January of 1899, when Saoirse was seventeen and Cillian nineteen. They promised each other to create a stable, comfortable home for themselves and their future children. That summer, both of the young couple approached each other with good news: in Cillian’s case, he had scraped together all the money he could, and bought them tickets to New York City, in America - while Saoirse had discovered that she was with child.

And now, in the spring of 1890, the two stood arm-in-arm in their very own apartment in the City of Dreams, in the Land of Opportunity. It was not much; it had just two rooms: a bedroom for the couple, and a main area that included the sitting area, kitchen, and dining room. But, it was theirs. Cillian and Saoirse’s. Nobody else’s.

The couple was quick to settle in. They set up all the furniture they were able to bring, and then went down to the local shops and drained most of their remaining funds on even more: a bed, a table, some chairs, and even a bench to set beside the fireplace. The little apartment very quickly became a home - and the O’Sullivans couldn’t be happier even if they had a palace.

First | Previous | Next

Also I didn't realize Saoirse's name is historically inaccurate until I was already in the mid-1890s, so uhh- just pretend it is lmao

“Oh, he told me they were,” June smiled, while Lon contented himself with readjusting beneath the blankets and cuddling with his two teddy bear companions, not paying much attention to the conversation. “They were very light when he was a boy, and got darker the older he got. It wouldn’t surprise me if the same thing happened with Erika.

You know...it’s so funny,” she then commented with a small laugh, resting her head in her hand as she remarked, “I should’ve guessed you were having twins. Not just because of all the extra movement you felt when the two started kicking, but because twins run in Wil’s family. His older brothers were twins, and he’s got lots of relatives that were twins themselves.” It defidently came from the Pace side and not the O’Sullivan side, according to him, with his father Cillian having two older sisters. It seemed to skip every once in a while, seeing as Wilhelm had no twin, and neither did Randall. Thus, it made sense, in hindsight, that he’d father two babies himself, the cycle continuing.

It felt good to talk about it, this considerably lighter topic that took her mind off things. It was pleasantly distracting, talking about what the children inherited, or perhaps what they might inherit down the line. It made her exhale a little, some of their weight lifting off her chest, as her mind wandered away from such miserable memories, allowing her to live in the moment.

#((it would! i mean really; you've got your whole afterlife ahead of you; you have all the time in the world to dedicate))#((to other things; things better and more worthwhile than being a bigot! it's just not worth it!))#((they really are just all trivial things that really just don't matter-they're all ghost! they're all dead! they're all living together!))#((live with it! and frankly if anyone WASN'T willing to live with it; if they wanted to be bigots; dorian wouldn't stand for it!))#((his house is open to anyone-and he does mean ANYONE-and if you don't like it you can find some other house to haunt!))#((and it seriously has to feel so good to the paces to just...belong! they're not frowned upon for simply existing))#((they're instead readily welcomed; not shunned for who they are or who they married! there's an unwavering acceptance))#((and it has to be so refreshing to all the paces; knowing that they have friends and supporters in the house))#((and that they won't be shunned for something as petty as nationalities and religions and the like!))#outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Double Trouble

New from Every Movie Has a Lesson by Don Shanahan: CAPSULE REVIEWS: 5th annual Irish American Movie Hooley

As an Chicagoan of strong Irish descent myself, let me step in and play the part of “good authority.” I have it on good authority that the annual Irish American Movie Hooley is a boisterous event with a trio of buried treasure movies that normally wouldn’t grace American screens. Just as the event’s name translates: “When a party gets rowdy, the Irish call it a ‘hooley.’” You need to join the 5th edition of this artistic autumnal party at The Gene Siskel Film Center over the weekend of September 27–29. Come for the scene. Consume some friendly and fascinating culture.

Barbara Scharres, the Director of Programming for The Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago, and Irish American radio personality Mike Houlihan recently announced the three choice selections for the upcoming fifth annual mini-festival. All three are making their Chicago premiere with one American premiere to close the weekend slate.

MISTY BUTTON

(Image: imdb.com)

Misty Button shows us that the whole “starving artist” trope of creative individuals being lousy f–kups with commitment issues is not solely an American pitfall. It bites the Irish too. The protagonist matching these well-worn traits is James, played by Cillian O’Sullivan. To say he lands in a pickle in Misty Button would be an understatement. It’s more like an inescapable vice tightening so hard the soaked-in whiskey squirts out of his pores in this slow-building dark comedy caper.

James and his uncorrected troubles reside in the far northern Bronx neighborhood of Woodlawn, known for its “Emerald Isle” turf of Irish-American heritage. He meets the burdens of his working class life with a triple-dipped punch of groans, signs, and bursts of profanity. In the course of a single day after finding the bottom of another bottle of Jameson, James is canned from his bar job and living single when his wife Hayley (Hannah Jane McMurry) tosses her rings out the window. Naturally, the impulsive James stoked his own fire to burn every bridge in each of these transpired events. When doesn’t lament in a shot glass, he does so seated at a typewriter trying to write something that gets him discovered.

James and his friends Declan (Patrick Scherrer) and Eoin (Shaun Kennedy) get their ears bent by little rants emanating from Timmy Thomas, a loquacious bard of a man played by John Keating (recognized from last year’s Hooley entry Emerald City), sitting in the same tavern. The twitchy, orange-eating middle-aged man propositions James and Eoin to do the legwork of placing a $10,000 bet on a 35-1 local racehorse named Misty Button. When the two mates blow some of the money on drugs and miss the betting window, they now find themselves in debt to a local crime bully Alonzo (Bret Lada). Worst of all, instead of owing just the $10,000, they owe 35 times that because the titular longshot ended up winning the race, costing all involved a tremendously larger windfall of cash.

The hijinks that ensue from the script and direction of filmmaker Seanie Surgue (making his feature debut after an emerging career in short films) put James, Eoin, and Timmy Thomas through a bungled wringer. Barstool banter turns into double-crosses. Swindles turn into smash-and-grab heists. Roughed up bumps and bruises meant to teach a lesson or two turn into murder. O’Sullivan, often looking and sounding like Colin Farrell Lite, smolders and shouts his way through these increasing obstacles. The scene-stealer is always the wiry Keating. The line delivery and physical quirks of his yarns are infectious.

This is, admittedly for a long stretch, a meandering way to encircle a drain of comeuppance. Misty Button is low on its expressions of suspense and does not employ a musical score to define any consistent tone. You have to hang on words and narrative beats. Not all of that meshes smoothly or free from head-scratching character choices.

Just when Misty Button seems like it runs out calamities to justify where it’s going, the double-crosses emerging from the previously mentioned banter flip the movie (and you) on its ear. The wild third act twists are a saving grace that redeem what was messy and turns it into a clever hustle primed to be backed often by “The Rocky Road to Dublin” by The Dubliners. Come to be pleasantly surprised.

CUMAR: A GALWAY RHAPSODY

(Image: siskelfilmcenter.org)

Annually and without fail, the Irish American Movie Holley delivers a gorgeously appointed documentary among the trio of features that either fascinates with an affecting citizen testimony or astonishes us with the natural beauty of the Emerald Isle. Cumar: A Galway Rhapsody is a poetic and dazzling example of the later sample of non-fiction art. With soaring cinematography across streets, surf, and sky, every inch of this documentary drips with the heavenly chemistry of its fine and proud home country.

Directed by Aodh O Coileain, Cumar: A Galway Rhapsody chronicles the layers of culture and natural wonders in and around the western city of its title. Galway, the sixth most populous city of the country, will be the year-long title-holder of the European City of Culture next year in 2020, and this film shows many of the rich reasons why it was sought for that distinction. A collection of six artists perform and explore the cultural nuance alongside the flowing stream of visuals.

Those featured artists include writer Mike McCormack, poet Rita Ann Higgins, singer Róisín Seoighe, street theatre director Noeline Kavanagh, visual artist Pádraic Reaney and musician Máirtín O’Connor. A seventh comes from the narration of comedian Tommy Tiernan which adds context and character to the scenes observed. The last topping bow of auditory presentation comes from composer Jake Morgan and music from Matthew Berrill and Nicola Geddes.

The title word “cumar” translates to “confluence.” In its most natural definition, confluence refers to where multiple waters converge. In Galway’s case, that matches the River Corrib and the churning bays washed by the Atlantic Ocean. Through labeled sections, Cumar: A Galway Rhapsody one of those artists is highlighted and the various sub-definitions of cumar and confluence preface each vignette. Some of those thematic pinpoints include cumar as “the accord between the artist and his tools, the energy that binds the ensemble, the influence of a place on the human spirit, and the unity that stems from a gathering of people.

With this draping chapters, Cumar: A Galway Rhapsody is well-paced and patient with unwrapping its historical notes and asides. Each chapter is an anecdote to the soul of the people. Parallel to the human element, each chapter, as well, is an earthly sermon to the land and sea. This is a fine credit to O Coileain and his editing team which included Conall de Cleir and Oisin Misteil.

The true feast of this documentary is the serene photography. Fast and slow, the blend of urban and domestic landscapes is observational and pastoral. Near and far, the film is lifted even greater by the wondrous aerial photography captured by Roman Bugovskiy and fleet of cameras. Theatrical screens will fill with this imagery and evoke dreams of reaching out and touching these divine treasures. That is an impressive treat and feat to enjoy at the Irish American Movie Hooley.

HIGH RECOMMENDATION

youtube

It was a peaceful Sunday afternoon just a few days after they had settled in, and the O’Sullivans had just returned from church. They were seated at their dining table, chatting away happily as Saoirse worked on knitting a pair of socks, as Cillian’s had worn away at the heels and toes.

Their conversation was cut off by a knock at the door. Saoirse rose to answer it, and was surprised to see a whole crowd of people; the lady at the front, a beautiful woman with blonde hair and sky blue eyes, smiled warmly. She had a plate of an unfamiliar dish in her hands. “Hello!” she chirped cheerfully in a thick Swedish accent. “You are new here, yes? We are your new neighbors!” She gestured to the crowd of at least ten people behind her in the thin hallway.

Saoirse, ever the extrovert, grinned with excitement, while poor, timid Cillian sank deeper into his seat. He silently begged his wife to thank them politely for the greeting and turn them away at the door, but he knew her better than that; to his dismay, but not surprise, she stepped aside, letting a long line of people march into their already-cramped abode.

“My name is Rita Johansson,” the blonde woman told Saoirse, nodding respectfully. A young girl, no older than three, with dusty brown curls on her head, clung to Rita’s skirts and eyed their new neighbors with big, blue eyes. “This is my daughter - Gunhild, say hello.”

Gunhild stared up at Saoirse and Cillian with uncertainty for several moments, before finally squeaking out a quiet, “Hello.”

Rita smiled warmly down at the young girl and gave her a pat on the head. Gunhild buried her face into her mother’s dress, but a small smile curled the corners of her mouth.

“This is my husband, Edvard,” Rita continued, placing her hand on the arm of the big, burly, mustached man beside her. Edvard did not say anything, giving only a nod and a soft grunt.

A man stepped forward now, a young woman at his arm and an old woman behind him. The trio’s dark complexions gave away their nationalities to Saoirse before they even opened their mouths. “I’m Antonio Bernardi,” he cheerfully announced, his voice expectedly Italian. “This is my wife, Bianca, and my mother Francesca.”

Bianca stretched out her hand to Saoirse, and the red-haired woman took it and shook it politely. “Pleased to make your acquaintance,” Bianca smiled.

Saoirse returned the greeting with a grin. “And the same to you!”

A little boy with the same dark hair and eyes as his family strode confidently up to Saoirse. “I Yuca,” he announced proudly, pointing to himself.

Bianca laughed. “This is our son, Luca. Say hello to Mrs. O’Sullivan.”

Luca looked up at Saoirse, fixing her with a curious and youthful stare, before his face broke out into a grin. “Hi Mish O’Suvvin’!”

Saoirse laughed and returned the greeting to the boy; the last family who came to greet them merely smiled and waved. A tall man and his wife, with two young children at their feet.

“These are the Franks,” Rita explained. “They moved here just a month before you. They are from Germany, and do not speak good English yet.”

Saoirse nodded and offered the family a smile and wave. The couple returned it; the husband muttered something to his wife and German, and she replied with a light laugh and a quick quip.

The neighbors stayed for nearly an hour; the children, who were all within a year in age of one another, chased each other around the small apartment. Saoirse and the women stood in the kitchen, discussing their families and their old lives back in their home countries. Meanwhile, the men sat at the bench in front of the fireplace, and eventually moved outside; they spoke of their jobs, their families, and financial situations.

It was a joyful time, and both Saoirse and Cillian were excited for what their future had in store for them.
