Finally got around to watching The Field. I'd left it for so long because I thought it would be dull and depressing. Dull it is NOT! But I was left feeling gutted. I spent the first 20 minutes or so vaguely wondering why they had wanted Sean for this part since there didn't seem to be much to it, but then from the American Wake dance scene in the pub, oh, wow, it all became clear. He was fantastic, and I don't know who else could have done that role with that intensity and believability.
I could not stop wondering about John Hurt's teeth, and I read that he had his caps removed for the role.
