A Pint of Plain poster

'A Pint of Plain' was filmed on location in and around Shepherd's Bush, here in West London. Because O'Sullivan enabled his actors to use improvisation and gave them no formal script, the film has a raw, gripping and truthful 'drama – documentary' feel about it.

Citizen Lane poster
7.0

Citizen Lane is an innovative mix of documentary and drama that delivers a vivid and compelling portrait of Hugh Lane, one of the most fascinating and yet enigmatic figures in modern Irish history. A man of multiple contradictions, by turns infuriatingly parsimonious or extraordinarily generous, a professed nationalist and a knight of the realm; a monumental snob and a fearless campaigner for access to the arts.
