Study Guides
»Il Postino
This gentle comedy drama is an excellent choice for Leaving Cert Comparative Study. Its nostalgic atmosphere is reminiscent of another Italian film, Cinema Paradiso (1989), which has also been a comparative film text. Il Postino offers an affectionate study of the unusual friendship that develops between poet and postman, and presents a critique of Italian life in the years following the Second World War.

»Strictly Ballroom Study Guide
An excellent choice for comparative study, Strictly Ballroom will appeal to students and teachers alike, as it is accessible, fun and fast-paced. The study guide includes an exclusive interview with director Baz Luhrmann, in which he discusses his artistic vision and reveals what is meant by 'red curtain cinema' the concept central to his trilogy of films: Strictly Ballroom (1992), Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996) and Moulin Rouge (2001). 'Strictly Ballroom illuminates a world that embraces young and old, male and female, migrant and homegrown, powerful and powerless, beautiful and plain.'

»Witness Study Guide
Since its introduction to the Leaving Cert English Comparative Study, Witness has been an extremely popular choice. The story of detective John Book who ends up hiding out on an Amish farm in Pennsylvania is a gripping thriller but also a moving love story. Excellent for study of Cultural Context and Social Setting, comparing the rural world of the Amish with that of the city, it also offers themes of love, justice, loyalty and decision-making.
