With this adaptation gsc pavillion of Frears is completed at the cinema The Barrytown Trilogy by Roddy Doyle. After The Commitments (Alan Parker, '91) and The Snapper (the same Frears, '93), with The Van back for the last time - so said Doyle - Barrytown, imaginary northern suburb of Dublin, a poor neighborhood on the outskirts where Doyle lived and taught (English and geography) for several years. Knowing how to tell is a quality gsc pavillion that is not lacking in Stephen Frears. His talent is evident in T minimalist speaking of small daily events of two forty Irish: Child and Larry.
Many moments of everyday life that take place throughout the film: family moments of tenderness and quarrels; drunk beer in the pub; games to watch tv in the company and the renovation of the van. Around them, children playing in the streets and festive follow the first exit of the van; drunks that the assault did not know how else to vent their dissatisfaction; diaper fried instead of a slice of cod.
Bimbo and Larry, married with children, find themselves both unemployed and decide to become members, selling "fish gsc pavillion & chips" and burger of various types. As local sales In developing a van scassatissimo, no door, with whom. The joy and moments of humor are mixed with drama, as in some films of Ken Loach, with whom Frears has in common the intention of telling stories of common life.
We are in the post-Thatcher: the world has not changed, factories and lay off men find refuge in the pub, drink beer and passionately followed football. gsc pavillion We are in the period between 1989 and 1990, with the matches of the Irish football World Cup in the background: it is thanks to the many fans who come out of the pub near that Bimbo and Larry start to do business. Larry, however, is clumsy and not very personable with customers, his two sons called gsc pavillion to serve are not much help and the relationship with Bimbo seems to ruin the tension and frequent arguments.
The different ways of dealing with the experience of the two protagonists - the vitalistic but unproductive gsc pavillion of Larry, but in its way that neurotic efficient Bimbo - have no way out; The reality is more and more strong and overwhelms all hope of redemption. Life, however, continues, despite everything because it never fails those who resist and you give do. The film, however, slips away, it does not stop on anything in particular: it reveals the reality
A film on the side of ordinary people and addressed to the common people. A humanist film, which just a few details well distributed in the right parts - Larry and daughter singing together in the van, strongly connoted in national terms, is a comedy full of lively characters and funny twists that do not hide the bitterness of a disadvantaged social reality upon which rests the problem gsc pavillion of unemployment.
A Frears not so interested in the political reading of a situation that critical as the human aspect that can arise from this situation of need The Van is the most fun and lively in the first half, with the pounding music of Eric Clapton, towards the end loses little 'bite but not sympathy.
