Shot in parlous circumstances as its British producers neared bankruptcy, Jordan’s portrait of an IRA gunman embracing his humanity in unexpected circumstances proved the pivotal moment in his career, after an ingenious U.S. marketing campaign swept the film all the way to Oscar night.Stephen Rea once more embodies seriously conflicted innocence as the protagonist’s promise to ill-fated squaddie Forest Whitaker prompts a life-changing encounter with the latter’s alluring lover (a once-in-a-lifetime performance from Jaye Davidson).The anguish of love and the rewards of compassion combine to make this an enduring modern classic, long after its much-touted ‘secret’ is out.We are delighted to welcome Dr Barry Monahan from UCC&#x27;s Department of Film &amp; Screen Media to introduce this film, and to facilitate the post-film discussion on Teams afterwards.<a href="https://www.ifihome.ie/film/the-crying-game/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">View the trailer on the IFI website here</a>
