Nothing Personal
Directed by Thaddeus O’Sullivan, Written by Daniel Mornin, Produced by Jonathan Cavendish and Tracey Seaward
Thaddeus O’Sullivan presents a gritty and sombre picture of the Troubles in Belfast, set shortly after the 1975 ceasefire. Kenny and Liam were once friends, but now Kenny is the leader of a loyalist gang (loosely based on the ‘Shankhill Butchers’) and Liam, a Catholic, is trying to raise his family without getting drawn into the Troubles. UK:85 min (USA:86 min), colour.
A presentation of the differing types of motive which might drive people to violence, including the very base motive of simply enjoying it.
