Seamus Murphy’s documentary examines Irish writer Pat Ingoldsby’s unique world. Ingoldsby’s poems and candid anecdotes bear witness to a visceral relationship with his beloved Dublin, fellow Dubliners and anything that catches his interest. Personal challenges, a sensitive humanity and a lifetime as a maverick have taught him to harness reality and reach well beyond it to avenge the banal with absurd magic. It heals him as it does us.
Fabulous movie. I have been an ardent Pat fan all through the years, and this movie is a magnificent tribute to Pats work. A beautiful work of art, the cinematography is exceptional. Attended the movie premier in Dublin.
