98 mins M
Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh, and starring an acclaimed ensemble cast, Belfast is a personal and joyful story about the power of memory, set in late 1960s Northern Ireland. Based on Branagh’s own childhood, at the centre of the film is 9-year-old Buddy whose life is filled with familial love, childhood hijinks, and a blossoming romance. Yet, with his beloved hometown caught up in increasing turmoil, his family faces a momentous choice: hope the Troubles will pass or leave everything they know behind for a new life.
Creatively shot in black and white and rendered in crisp, high-definition digital, Belfast cleverly blends sentiments of the time with the advantages of modern technology. Contains violence and strong language.
Winner of Best Original Screenplay at the 94th Annual Academy Award - Kenneth Branagh.
