Summer 1969: Buddy is a young boy on the cusp of adolescence, 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 conflict will pass or leave everything they know behind for a new life.

Kenneth Branagh hat den Konflikt, der so viele Leben forderte, hautnah miterlebt. Der Schwarzweissfilm führt in die Kindheit des vor allem für seine Shakespeare-Adaptionen bekannten Schauspielers und Regisseurs. Ein höchst anrührendes Drama, manchmal trotz allem bunt und für sieben Oscars nominiert. Zu sentimental? Nein, «Belfast» wird aus der Sicht eines Neunjährigen erzählt. Und da sind die ernsthaftesten Dinge oft noch ein Spiel.

Matthias Lerf

Une sorte de Billy Elliot version irlandaise, à la fois tendre et drôle, porté par des acteurs lumineux.

B.T.

Plus le film avance, plus il emprunte aux genres de cinéma entraperçus dans les salles de Belfast en 1969. Un numéro de comédie musicale interprété par ces parents de fiction s’insère donc parfaitement parmi les dernières scènes, au son d’un tube éloquent de la fin des années 60 : Everlasting Love.
