We live in a world where words have become overused, "great" is used to describe breakfast and "excellent" describes the feeling of receiving an expected letter on time.
In my honest opinion, "The Snapper" is a classic, in every sense of the old meaning of the word.
Here is a beautifully written piece to begin with, a beautifully crafted piece to expand, and a great achievement in directing and acting out a work that is so much a classic of Dublin life and its wonderful people. This very funny and often heart wrenching film, is a work of art that belongs alongside James Joyce and a host of other great Irish artists. It goes beyond comedy or drama, in its ability to reveal the very heart and soul of human existence, and at the same time, touch ours.
The Snapper is much more than an entertaining and very funny story, which it is by every inch, it is also a great classic of Dublin life, not the life of the Blooms, but of the Curleys.
