Boys Keep Swinging, Boys Always Work It Out

Okay, we know that that’s the second David Bowie lyric we’ve referenced in our titles this week but we just couldn’t help ourselves (and to be really po-faced, we were thinking of The Associates’ cover version. Harrumph! Dropping more names than Lloyd Cole in a library we are).

The Intermission team of John Crowley and Mark O’Rowe have teamed up to adapt Jonathan Trigell’s novel Boy A. The plot sees 24-year-old ex-con Jack (Andrew Garfield – Lions Of Lambs) as he tries to readjust to the outside world after spending years inside for killing a young boy when he was teenager. Helped by father figure and parole officer Terry (Peter Mullan), Jack goes through the coming of age scenarios he should have gone through when he was a kid.

Intermission is one of TToH’s favourite Irish films and we hope that John and Mark can deliver the goods again. By the sounds of it, they’re onto a winner. We'll have the trailer as soon as we get our hands on it...
