July 28 2024 - That They May Face the Rising Sun (15)

Join us for a screening of That They May Face the Rising Sun (15) in the Screening Room on 28 July 2024 at 4 PM.

Capturing a year in the life of a rural, lakeside community in Ireland in the 1970’s, That They May Face The Rising Sun is an adaptation of the final novel from John McGahern, one of Ireland’s greatest novelists. Joe and Kate Ruttledge have returned from London to live and work among the small, close-knit community near to where Joe grew up. Now deeply embedded in life around the lake, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters around them unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons as this enclosed world becomes an everywhere.

Run time: 1hr 51minutes
