ASC presents: In America with Declan Quinn
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Jim Sheridan
2002 / 105min / 35mm
Sheridan’s almost overwhelmingly emotional semi-autobiographical family drama stars Paddy Considine and Samantha Morton as a married Irish couple, Johnny and Sarah Sullivan, who, still reeling from the recent death of their five-year-old son, relocate with their two young daughters to the ramshackle tenements of 1980s Hell’s Kitchen in an attempt to rebuild their lives in a new country. Luminously photographed by DP Declan Quinn, who lends even the grubbiest corners of run-to-seed NYC the sheen of enchantment and romance that it can take on in the eyes of newcomers, In America is a work of earnest and unbridled feeling, anchored by Djimon Hounsou’s career-best performance as the Sullivan’s reclusive artist neighbor.
