The Lesson
director: 爱丽丝·特劳顿 actor: 达利尔·麦克科马克 / 理查德·E·格兰特
other title: 教训 / 더 레슨
Unable to find inspiration for his newest piece, young author Liam (Daryl McCormack) takes on the titanic weight of tutoring the son of legendary writer J.M. Sinclair (Richard E. Grant) and his wife Hélène Sinclair (Julie Delpy). Reeling from the mysterious passing of their eldest son, the Sinclairs push Liam to work harder and invite him to stay on the estate grounds with them. Soon enough, lies big and small unfurl as a well-intentioned exercise quickly transforms into a saga of lust, betrayal, jealousy, and the quest for legacy-defining relevance. A battle of wits begins with everyone carrying much to lose.
Delpy, Grant, and McCormack all make triumphant returns to Tribeca in a drama bubbling with explorations of authorship and the inextricable link between family, no matter how broken. Thrilling and darkly comedic, the project questions the efficacy and sour ethical dynamics which may arise from mentorship and the tenuous hopes and dreams many wrap around that very concept.

The Story of Ireland
director: Mike Connolly / Niamh Sammon actor: Fergal Keane
它的主持人是《英国古代史》的主持人,用略带口音的英语把爱尔兰惊心动魄的千年历史娓娓道来...这个系列做的有新意,旨在打破人们对爱尔兰的固有偏见,认为爱尔兰系单一民族,单一文化,单一信仰的岛国。
第一集 入侵时代
讲了盎格鲁诺曼征服之前的爱尔兰古代世界,那时爱尔兰与世界密切相连,其民族由不同的入侵和移居种族杂合而成,绝非单一的凯尔特族。其文化也因此兼收并蓄,海纳百川。确实令人意想不到。
第二集 征服时代
这一段是从英裔诺曼征服爱尔兰到奥尼尔伯爵造反被镇压跨度400年的故事。盖尔人,英裔诺曼人,伊丽莎白时代英国人,天主教西班牙人,几股势力纠缠打斗在一起,构成了故事的主线。
第三集 革命时代
这一集从17世纪初苏格兰新教徒殖民贝尔法斯特讲起,至1798年爱尔兰人联合会起义失败收尾。是爱尔兰历史上一段天主教势力瓦解,新教徒掌权的故事。200年里,爱尔兰历经两次天主教起义,天主教权贵下台后的100多年新教统治和一次天主教徒和新教徒的联合起义,成为了诸如克伦威尔,威廉三世,詹姆斯二世这些叱咤风云的历史人物的舞台。短短2个世纪里,各种事件此起彼伏,各种矛盾交织,各种团体林立,各种关系错综复杂,令人眼花缭乱。

Once (Soundtrack) Douban
9.2 (343 ratings) Glen Hansard / Marketa Irglova genre: Soundtrack
release date 2007-05-22 publisher: Columbia
Even those allergic to musicals may be won over by Once, a tender-hearted Irish romance with songs by Czech Republic–born Markéta Irglová and Frames frontman Glen Hansard. (The film's director, John Carney, actually used to play bass in the group.) The trick here is that Irglová and Hansard also play the leads; because their characters are shown busking, writing music, or rehearsing, the songs are smoothly integrated in the film. The overall acoustic mood won't surprise fans of the Frames--some tracks ("Say It to Me," "When Your Mind's Made Up") have even popped up on the band's albums, though the arrangements are more pared-down here, befitting the scruffy, street-musician setting. Being the lesser-known entity, Irglová feels like a revelation; she sounds a bit like a folkie Björk on "If You Want Me," and her song "The Hill" is downright heartbreaking. Irglová and Hansard had already made the 2006 album The Swell Seasontogether, so their collaboration here feels really organic--they sound particularly good together on the title track, for instance. Now that's the kind of magic you want from musicals. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

8.7 (223 ratings) Damien Rice genre: Folk
release date 2006-11-06 publisher: Warner Music Group
Damien Rice在2003年发行了个人的首张专辑《O》,专辑刚发行,变让Damien Rice红遍了非主流音乐界。成为一位知名的唱作人。不但是国外,在我们中国Damien Rice的FANS也是相当的多,我记着前俩年,几乎各各论坛都会有人去发Damien Rice《O》专辑中的歌曲,简直可以用泛滥来形容。同时也让大家重新认识了Damien Rice所演绎的爱尔兰的音乐。这张新专辑命名为《9》,又是以极其简单的方式面向大家。新专辑《9》将在11月3号在爱尔兰首先发行,而后是11月6号将在英国和欧洲地区发行,最后的11月14号才会在美国正式发行。至于我们中国...估计2007年的11月吧。呵呵,玩笑话。来看看新专辑,整整10首歌曲。风格继续延续上张专辑的风格民谣,独流流行和Singer/ Songwriter。不同的是,这张专辑有2首非常突出的歌曲,分别是Rootless Trees和Me, My Yoke and I,突出之处在于别与他们以前的风格,这俩首歌曲特别摇滚,有点Indie Rock的感觉,听后,给我一种很新鲜的感觉,演绎的摇滚曲风原来也很不错。相对这张专辑的风格,我可以给这俩首歌曲满分。原因就是非常特别。剩下的歌曲,就是Damien Rice以往的风格,第一首歌曲9 Crimes,是一首以钢琴为主旋律配带着提琴的忧伤抒情歌曲,继续加上和Lisa Hannigan的女声和唱,专辑开篇便给我们一种熟悉的感觉,仿佛是上张专辑中的歌曲。专辑中Lisa Hannigan同样也参与了很多合声和合唱的部分。这点与上张仍然一样。Elephant是木吉他小调的歌曲,Damien Rice又在一次展示了他的嗓音,就像是清唱一样。专辑的最后一首是Sleep Don't Weep,一首近6分钟的歌曲,Damien Rice只演唱了小部分,接下来是Lisa Hannigan演唱了一小部分,剩下了结尾曲,在钢琴和Lisa Hannigan的合声中结束了整张专辑。

9.0 (316 ratings) Damien Rice genre: Pop
release date 2003-01-01 publisher: Vector Recordings
Damien Rice的首张专辑「O」自2002年发行以来引发广大的回响,在家乡爱尔兰都柏林,专辑销售获得3张白金唱片认证,赢得3项爱尔兰音乐奖提名,在英国,乐评界热情推荐的喝采始终没停过,让专辑一路挺进到英国金榜第8名。而在专辑登陆美国作发行之前,Damien早以爆满的巡回演唱征服了老美的耳朵,Damien接着成了Coldplay演唱会的嘉宾。整个2004年,Damien总计获得了全英音乐奖最佳国际性男歌手的提名,以及NME杂志奖最佳独唱歌手的提名,同时也赢得了爱尔兰传媒Hot Press读者票选大奖中的最佳男歌手与最佳词曲创作者两项奖座,此外,专辑「O」还赢得了2003年的Shortlist音乐奖。
虽然Damien不太想将自己的音乐归类,也不想知道自己唱的歌曲的感觉是否太强烈了,不过,不容否认的,专辑「O」中有许多关于描述挫折的歌。专辑开场的两首歌 "Delicate" 、 "Volcano" 在极为沉静的气氛中,慢慢的让歌曲的伤痛感觉自然蔓延,紧接着映入听觉的 "The Blower's Daughter" 则是让大提琴与歌声忘情的交换着彼此的哀愁,然后是非常民谣感觉的弹唱曲 "Cannonball" ,而带有独白味道的 "Older Chests" 则是在很自然的情况下录下刚从教堂走出来的小孩的声音,营造出街头民谣的感觉, "Amie" 里的弦乐适时的出现将前几首歌曲的沉痛气氛导入非常戏剧性的情境,到了 "Cold Water" 时,寂静的情绪再度笼罩,只是这回多了绝望、失落与宗教上的救赎,终场的 "Eskimo" 再长达15分钟多的时间里,Damien大胆的加进了歌剧女高音的吟唱,还让歌曲在留白两分钟后,来段即兴的心情摇滚大实验,将专辑的情绪调到最高点,最后再以 "Silent Night" 巧妙收尾,剎那间,让专辑里的情绪回归到情绪的原点。
2004年岁末,随着茱莉亚罗勃兹、裘德洛主演的电影【偷情】选用 "The Blower's Daughter" 作为影片开场与片尾的主题曲,Damien Rice的歌曲情绪再度引起另一波的高潮,专辑「O」特地重新加上8首B Sides歌曲再度登场,加量的歌曲,更多的感动,你怎舍得跟他的歌擦身而过呢?
