In the Pipeline: Eden
Eileen Walsh in Eden, a Liberation Entertainment Release

It’s not set to be officially released until November, but Declan Recks’ Irish marriage drama Eden kicks off the Los Angeles Irish Film Festival on Thursday, and it’s playing the annual Woodstock Film Festival on Thursday and Saturday. Besides that, it’s a terrific film and I wanted to plant the seed a little early.
The story of a marriage teetering on the brink of disaster is one that has been told many times, but Eden has an uncommon equanimity. This isn’t a story of good wives and bad husbands. It’s a human story of flawed people who are losing their way and it’s tinged with the hope that they will be able to find it again.
It’s heavy material, but the performances and the honest emotions are invigorating rather than depressing.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for a full review of Eden and an LiC interview with the director and with star Eileen Walsh (The Magdalene Sisters). In the mean time, you can catch the trailer here.

Hmm…duly noted.
Congrats on another interview! I still need to read the Trouble the Water interview, but I still need to..um..see the movie.
You mean Part 1 of the interview to which there was no Part 2?
It’s the interview to nowhere and Sarah Palin said “No thanks!” (eventually)
Congrats on another interview indeed, Craig. You’ve got the connections. Did the monkeys negotiate this deal for you? :)
The film looks interesting.
Thanks. Im reaching out for more opportunites, though don’t expect to see me interviewing Clooney any time soon or anything like that.
The trailer looks really beautiful.
Thanks for bringing this one to my attention, Craig. This is one I’m definitely going to see.
Ha, funny it’s from the producers of Once. That just makes it even more appealing.
I just got back from a small interview with the writer, director and Ms. Walsh. They were great and they totally suckered me with their accents.
You said in the other thread you were keen on things Irish (and French and Czech) so you’ll definitely want to keep an eye out for this one.
Wow, I can’t wait to see the interview.
Yeah, I’ll definitely be looking out for this one.
