Performance of Myth: The Legend of Longwood (Lisa Mulcahy 2014) --Pg. 301-304 (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the impact of recent Irish films, particularly 'Brooklyn' and 'Room', on the portrayal and perception of Irish cinema in the U.S. It examines the mainstream acceptance of Irish actors and narratives in Hollywood, contrasting the Irish identity and production elements of these films with their North American settings. The analysis highlights how these films have overshadowed other Irish cinematic works and raises questions about the definition and ambitions of Irish cinema moving forward, particularly in light of international financing and production collaborations.
