Set In 1969, Love and Savagery is a lyrical story of an impossible love. Geologist and poet Michael McCarthy travels from his native Newfoundland to the west coast of Ireland to study the intricate and stunning landscape of The Burren. But the most beautiful thing Michael encounters is Cathleen O'Connell. Although she is about to dedicate her life to the Church, Cathleen is inescapably drawn to Michael. In a community torn between its traditional roots and its aspirations for the future, the growing affection between the stranger and Cathleen is deeply unsettling.
A beautiful story of two young people living their lives that discover harmony in each others company. They find themselves struggling with their feelings, their creed and deciding their future.
Excellent film really enjoyed it. Locals in Carrigaholt really took to being included in cast. Well done to all.
Excellent storyline, beautiful scenery. Cute accents.
