MICHAEL COLLINS

Details

• Release Year: 1996
• Genre: Drama, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: Michael Collins, the man and the movie stands tall. The man is a hero whose fighting tactics became a model for other 20th-century struggles, a statesman who negotiated Ireland's break with England, a political martyr slain for the great cause he lived and breathed. The movie is an epic triumph 'as brave and heartfelt as Braveheart' (Jack Mathews, Newsday).; ; 'I will never make a more important film,' Academy Award® winner* Neil Jordan (The Crying Game) says. Only time will tell if he makes a more exciting one. Michael Collins roils with the passions of war furiously waged and peace desperately sought. Liam Neeson (winner of a Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award) plays the title role. Aidan Quinn, Stephen Rea, Alan Rickman and Julia Roberts also deliver vivid performances. They, Jordan and a superb behind-the-cameras team make Michael Collins a man and a movie you won't soon forget.; ; *1992: Writing (Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen).
