Sense of Loss, A

Synopsis

Ophuls’ portrait of the people of Northern Ireland relies on what is said in interviews and on what happens when the camera catches some act of violence as it is actually occurring. Politicians, soldiers, housewives, grieving widows and children are among those interviewed.
