    That They May Face The Rising Sun (2023) - GFT

    Based on the final novel by highly influential Irish author John McGahern this is an excellent film, very contemplative, about life, death and being at peace with your own existence. It centres around a middle aged couple, Joe, an author, and Kate, an artist who have moved back from London to rural Ireland in the late 1970s. It's beautifully filmed, so much, that nature itself becomes a central character. The plot is pretty flimsy and most of the things you see going on are the collection of characters, a lot older than Joe & Kate, who seem to gravitate to them with some amusing scenes and a very moving scene involving Joe preparing a deceased friend for his funeral.
