| Overview: | Adapted by Nichola Bruce from the acclaimed photographic novel by Timothy O'Grady and Steve Pyke, I COULD READ THE SKY is a haunting and lyrical film about identity, love, loss, and the isolation and loneliness of the immigrant.
Dermot Healy movingly portrays a man reflecting upon his life, from his rural up-bringing in the West Coast of Ireland to his journey to London and experiences in the vividly modern metropolis.
Driven by a dynamic music soundtrack that draws from both environments, the film is a labyrinthine, visually extraordinary journey into the textures, fragments, details and layers of one man's life and memories.
