No Japs at My Funeral

About This Movie

So, No Japs at My Funeral, it’s a fascinating piece of political documentary work from 1980. It’s not the most polished film out there, but it has this raw energy that grabs you. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that sort of adds to its charm, you know? The interview with the IRA member is pretty gripping, showcasing a unique perspective that’s often overlooked. There’s this palpable tension throughout, really makes you think about the themes of conflict and identity. Not really about flashy effects or performances, but it's the stark honesty that stands out. Nares eventually moved on to different projects, but this one feels like a snapshot of a specific time and ideology. Definitely a conversation starter.
