The Father, the Son and the Housekeeper (2009)

Posted on 05:25 by uthpa
Recommended
UK/Ireland
Short Television Documentary
Director: Alison Millar
Cinematographers: Seamas McCracken, Michael Quinn
Composers: Danny Todd, Jeremy Vass
Featuring: Father Michael Cleary, Ross Hamilton

Despite a couple of questionable soundtrack choices, Millar’s documentary - a delicate depiction of superstar priest, Father Michael Cleary (coming across like a lost character from Father Ted), and his illegitimate son, Ross Hamilton (a tragically beautiful figure), which also manages to be a damning portrait of the system that forced these two people to live such disparate lives - is a revealing and moving experience.
