A feisty and captivating coming-of-age drama which follows two young tweens, Kylie (Kelly O’Neill) and Dylan (Shane Curry), who run away from their troubled family homes on the outskirts of Dublin at Christmas time. The pair head for the centre of the city, where they glimpse human life in all its colourful diversity, but as darkness falls and the night wears on, an uglier side of the city emerges. Curry and O’Neill are phenomenal in their first ever acting roles and by journey’s end, their fusion of youthful anxiety and child-like yearning has established itself as a beautifully realised epitaph to social unrest.

Ffilm afaelgar a bywiog am grwt a chroten yn eu harddegau sy’n ffoi o’u cartrefi ar gyrion Dulyn ar adeg y Nadolig. Mae’r pâr yn mynd i ganol y ddinas ac yn gweld yno bywyd dynol yn ei holl ogoniant, yn dda ac yn ddrwg. Perfformiadau gwych gan yr actorion ifainc.

John Woo | China | 2008 | 148′

In 208 AD a million soldiers took part in the Battle of Red Cliff, in which a desperate union of rebellious kingdoms faced the might of the imperial army in an epic clash that shaped China for hundreds of years. Vastly outnumbered, the rebels used tactical genius to outwit their furious enemy. Based on these events, John Woo’s historical war movie, which set new records on its release in Asia, is as spectacular, involving and entertaining as anything Hollywood has to offer!

Mae ffilm newydd John Woo yn ddrama ryfel hanesyddol ysblennydd sydd wedi torri pob record yn Asia ar ôl ei rhyddhau yno.
