Inside the head of each and every one of us live five emotions: Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. These figures see us through every new situation that comes our way; in Riley’s case, this means the big move from her home in the Midwest over to San Francisco. She’s struggling to adapt to her new environment, and neither she nor her parents can figure out what she’s feeling.
Cue the five emotions, who spend their time in Headquarters: the part of Riley’s brain that governs her moods. Joy is usually the one in charge, but with so much going on all around her, it seems that keeping Riley’s spirits up might prove more difficult than they all imagined. Can Joy and the team see Riley through this traumatic time?
From the brains behind such hits as Monsters, Inc. and Up comes this innovative and moving animation about the stuff that goes on within our heads. Starring Amy Poehler, Bill Hader and Kyle MacLachlan, Inside Out is a very special cinematic experience that is a treat for all the family.
Years after the death of their mother, Ben and his little sister Saoirse live with their dad in a lighthouse by the coast. Saoirse is a quiet child – in fact, she has never spoken a word, and Ben finds her incredibly frustrating. One night, she goes exploring in the beautiful white coat that used to belong to her mother, and when she approaches the sea, she discovers the mystical secret at the heart of who she is.
Ben and Saoirse’s grandmother becomes worried about the children, and takes them to live with her in the city. But Saoirse’s emotional connection to the sea proves difficult to overcome. Can she stay true to who she really is, or will the distance keep her from herself, and the mother she never knew?
This enchanting film has been nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, and has received a lot of positive praise since its premiere at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. With a really entrancing soundtrack that captures the spirit of this legend, Song of the Sea is utterly charming, and a real treat for cinema-goers.
Blianta tar éis bás a mháthair, bíonn Ben agus a dheirfiúir beag Saoirse ina chónaí lena n-athair i dteach solais in aice an chósta. Is páiste ciúin í Saoirse. I ndáiríre, níl sí tar éis focal a rá ariamh, agus bíonn frustrachas ar Bhen faoi seo. Oíche amháin, téann sí ag féachaint thart, agus cóta álainn bán a mháthair uirthi. Nuair a thagann sí cois farraige, tagann sí ar an rúndiamhair a thugann míniú di faoi cé hí féin.
Tagann imní ar Mamó Ben agus Saoirse fúthu, agus tógann sí iad chun cónaí léi sa chathair. Ach ní féidir dlúthcheangal Saoirse leis an bhfarraige a shárú. An féidir léi fanacht dílis di féin, nó an scarfaidh an fhad í uaithí féin agus an máthair nach raibh aithne aici uirthi ariamh?
Bhí an scannán aoibhinn seo ainmnithe don scannán beochana is fearr ag Gradaim an Acadamh, agus tá neart moladh dearfach faighte ag an scannán ó bhí sé léirithe don chéad uair ag Féile Scannáin Idirnáisiúnta Toronto 2014. Le fuaimrian draíochtach a léiríonn go maith spiorad an finscéal, tá Amhrán na Mara íontach mealltach agus mar phléisiúir mór do dhaoine a théann chuig an bpictiúrlann.
