MICHAEL COLLINS - DVD

Details

• Release Year: 1996
• Genre: Drama
• Plot: 'Michael Collins', the man and the movie stands tall. The man is a hero whose fighting tactics became a model for other 20th-century struggles, a statesman who negotiated Ireland's break with England, a political martyr slain for the great cause he lived and breathed. ; ; The movie is an epic triumph 'as brave and heartfelt as 'Braveheart'.' (Jack Mathews, 'Newsday'); ; 'I will never make a more important film,' Academy Award® winner Neil Jordan ('The Crying Game') says. Only time will tell if he makes a more exciting one. ; ; 'Michael Collins' roils with the passions of war furiously waged and peace desperately sought. ; ; Liam Neeson (winner of a Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award) plays the title role. ; ; Aidan Quinn, Stephen Rea, Alan Rickman and Julia Roberts also deliver vivid performances. ; ; They, Jordan and a superb behind-the-cameras team make 'Michael Collins' a man and a movie you won't soon forget.
