In partnership with the Irish Network of China, we will be providing a tasting of Ireland’s premium exports: whiskey, Kerrygold cheddar and Irish stew, followed by a screening of the film Philomena, directed by Stephan Frears.
“Philomena is something yearned for and lusted after by film-makers and journalists alike – a really good story. It’s a powerful and heartfelt drama, based on a real case, with a sledgehammer emotional punch and a stellar performance from Judi Dench, along with an intelligently judged supporting contribution from Steve Coogan. Yet the film’s apparent simplicity and force come to us flavoured with subtle nuances and subtexts, left there by the people who brought this story to the public.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
