Kneecap (18)

Director Rich Peppiatt. Irish with English subtitles and English. 1h 45m.

Manic, irreverent, ketamine-fueled and ‘mostly true’, Rich Peppiatt’s award- winning drama documentary creates an origin myth for the real life band Kneecap. What’s it all about? Well, you’ll have to follow the subtitles unless you speak the language. And this is the serious point behind this wild sex, drugs and hip hop caper. The preservation and promotion of the Irish language itself. Avowedly Republican in sentiment, this is not a film that will be to everyone’s taste, but if you want to give your sense of humour a run for its money, it’s a must see.
