For All Ages

The Secret of Roan Inish (1994) stars Jeni Courtney as Fiona, a little girl who hears of a grand story about how her baby brother was swept to sea in his cradle and has been living with seals.

Kevin Cullen says: "'The Secret of Roan Inish' is one of the best indie films I've seen about Ireland. It's about a great myth, but captures the Irish sense of mythology."

Also in this category: "Into the West" (1992) and "Dancing at Lughnasa" (1998).
