Broken Harvest

About This Movie

Broken Harvest, while not widely known, offers an intriguing look into the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of 1950's Ireland and modern-day New York. The film dives deep into the bitterness of a long-standing feud between two farmers, remnants of the Irish Civil War, and the shared love for a woman that fuels their rivalry. It's not just a historical drama; it’s a study on how past scars influence present actions. The pacing has this almost languid feel, reflecting the weight of the characters' histories. Performances are raw and heartfelt, managing to evoke empathy despite the bitterness. The practical effects, though minimal, lend an authenticity that heightens the emotional stakes. It’s a unique blend of personal and political that resonates well beyond its era.
