Sunlight
Directed by Claire Dix
Packed with powerhouse performances, & deeply infused with the sights, sounds & humour of Dublin, director Claire Dix’s film is a dark yet joyous offering - a rumination on male friendship, mortality and the quandary of assisted dying.
Former addict Leon (Barry Ward) is indebted to Iver (Liam Carney), his friend who helped him back from the edge. Now the tables have turned; Leon is clean and bursting with unbridled energy while Iver is at death’s door.
What follows is some beautifully realised acting & gritty subject matter,with deft, sensitive direction throughout, as their tale unfolds towards a shocking, striking climax.
