I COULD READ THE SKY

Adapted by Nichola Bruce from the ac-
claimed photographic novel by Timothy
O'Grady and Steve Pyke, I COULD READ
THE SKY is a haunting and lyrical film
about identity, love, loss, and the isolation
and loneliness of the immigrant.

Dermot Healy movingly portrays a man
reflecting upon his life, from his rural up-
bringing in the West Coast of Ireland to his
journey to London and experiences in the
vividly modern metropolis.

Driven by a dynamic music soundtrack that draws from both environments, the film is a laby-
rinthine, visually extraordinary journey into the textures, fragments, details and layers of one
man's life and memories.
