  • Adam and Paul

    Directed by Lenny Abrahamson.
    With Mark O'Halloran, Tom Murphy.
    Ireland, 2004, 35mm, color, 83 min.

Friends since they were small boys, Dubliners Adam and Paul have withered into two hapless, desperate junkies, tied together by habit and necessity. A stylized, downbeat comedy, the film follows the pair through a single day, which, like every other, is entirely devoted to the business of scrounging and robbing money for drugs. The difference today is that Adam and Paul- already near rock bottom- have finally run out of luck, credit and friends. Lenny Abrahamson's debut feature plays like a cross between Laurel and Hardy and Samuel Beckett- never sentimental, at times harrowing, but always tender. Hot Press: "One of the best Irish movies you're likely ever to have seen... brilliant."

  • The Ten Steps

A clever horror film that takes the old premise of a young girl alone in a creepy house, then adds a terrific and unexpected twist.
