Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rare Irish film that treats working-class Dublin without romanticizing poverty — the pub is prison and community simultaneously.
Director Steve Barron made Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' video and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) — this is his weirdest project by far.
