THE FILM OF THE WEEK
JIMMY’S HALL – A STORY OF LOVE AND FREEDOM ‘
E ‘always him, incorrigible. Ken Loach, Ken red, the most radical of contemporary directors, stubbornly continues to face a cinema ‘political’ but in the highest sense of the term and less dogmatic . And if it makes the center even when he took refuge in the play, see ‘Looking for Eric’ or ‘The part of the angels’, let alone when he returns to face the issues that most in the ropes: those of social injustice, inequality, the oppressed , the exploited, of those words that are perpetually on the other side of the fence. With ‘Jimmy’s hall – A story of love and freedom’, presented in competition at Cannes, Loach is back in Ireland twenties brink of civil war, in short, before the events of ‘The Wind That Shakes the ‘grass’ which earned him the Golden Palm in 2006, telling the true story of Jimmy Gralton, only Irish to be expelled from his country without due process becaus e “communist”.
We are in 1921 when Jimmy builds a ballroom in the countryside where young people can go to study, discuss, dream and, of course, have fun . Day after day, the place becomes increasingly crowded and popular, until his fame meeting of socialists and freethinkers comes to the ears of the Church and politicians, which eventually forced to flee to America and Jimmy the ballroom to close. Ten years later, returns to take care of his mother, decided to lead a quiet life. The ballroom is always there but abandoned. Over time, touching hands with poverty and cultural oppression that plague his community, the activist in him takes over deciding to reopen the local, cost what it may. And it will cost him little.
Supported by the perfect script, Paul Laverty, highlighting the absurdity of one of the oppressor and a Church smug, pompous and repressive beyond all limits, Loach celebrates a community of People who live and play in the name of a higher cause . Politics and entertainment are never easy to mix a blend, but ‘Jimmy’s lobby’ the miracle: an unusual story, vivid and intelligent that leaves us, despite the bitter end, with an exciting sense of joy and hope. A film also moving because everything is played with great lightness, as the romance between Jimmy and Oonah that can be summarized in a scene where they dance alone, illuminated by the light of the moon, which underlies an extraordinary eroticism.
And it is absolutely true, as someone wrote, that for at least an hour and a half, its duration, this film even manages to reconcile with communism . Between music, dancing and a glass of red wine.
