I watched “Intermission” the other night and it had the funniest (and perhaps best) use of Clannad’s music in any movie. Without giving too much away it spoofs the mood-building role Clannad’s music usually takes in movies and the whole musical genre of “Celtic Mysticism.”
The movie itself was quite good too. It’s a more comedic, more mundane “Pulp Fiction” and not quite as violent (still pretty edgy though). So not one to watch if you’re sensitive to obscenities, sexual content, and violence…or if you have a crush on Colin Farrell that could be damaged by his role as an unsavory character. But if you appreciate darker humor, I highly recommend it.
Now, if I only had some brown sauce…
Oh, and to make it an “official” Irish movie, Colm Meaney plays a major role.
