Village by the Sea

Edith preferred Bunmahon because she had an eye for the cottages that were left empty now by the miners, having to leave. [...] That appealed to her: the wildness of the place, and the tumbled down look of it. And she just pictured them exactly.

– Local Jim Cullinan

It was like I had come back home full-circle to my childhood again ... we were welcomed with such hospitality and friendship. It was like meeting old friends again.

– Michael Heath on filming in Ireland (his father is from Ireland)

... a beautiful sequel to his film biography of Edith Collier, Village by the Sea, travelling to the Irish village where Collier produced some of her best work. [...] Gorgeous painting after painting is reproduced, in a duet with the slow exquisite soaking up of the landscape of Stephen Latty’s camera.
