Product Description

Ten-year-old Fiona is sent to live with her grandparents in a small fishing village in Donegal, Ireland. She soon learns the local legend that an ancestor of hers married a selkie -- a seal who can turn into a human. Years earlier, her baby brother washed out to sea in a cradle, and some think that he is being raised by the seals. Then Fiona catches sight of a naked little boy on the abandoned isle of Roan Inish and takes a more active role in uncovering the mysteries which abound.

This is not an action packed adventure movie, so if that's what you're looking for, you should likely pass on it. It's an excellent story that builds on good storytelling and folklore.

Fist to rate the movie. It is great. So strange to listen to. The little girl is great. I grow board easily with most movies. Not this one.
Second to rate the disk. The transcription to disk was great as well. Video is clean and sharp. Audio with strange accents is quality.
This is a movie worth adding to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A movie made in a bygone era about a bygone era… charming, mythological, incredible.
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024

This is essential watching for a family with young children, but it’s charming and serious enough to make for a great date night film. I actually watched it with my 30 and 40-something friends, and we loved it.

Don’t expect to be blown away. It’s like a warm cup of tea with just the right amount of sugar.

It’s folklore come to life— beautiful, quiet, immersive, atmospheric, sincere, and even a little haunting. No curse words. No special effects. No bombast and loud action. Just wonderful storytelling, uncontrived suspense, beautiful landscapes (that are a character unto themselves), and surprisingly good turns of acting by the younger folks in the film. It’s about family, tradition, trust, and unconditional love— but it also reminds us that we once believed in magic, and the movie can’t help but make you want to believe again.

In 2023, this film feels quaint to the point of bittersweetness— they don’t make films like this anymore. And the family-based, hard-working, undistracted, unpretentious quiet way of life of depicted here is all but gone from 20th century America, and likely from most of modern, social-media saturated countries.

This is a must watch, if only to remember what it was like to not be in a hurry.

5.0 out of 5 stars A profoundly sweet story and beautifully filmed movie!
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2012

My husband and I seldom watch a movie more than once, but over time, we've wanted to get into this enchanting experience again and again -- and so we've happily bought the DVD.

A strong-minded Irish girl named Fiona is 10 years old. Her mother has just died and her father is usually drunk, so she is sent to live with her grandparents on the nearby coast. This whole family and all residents of their small island, Roan Inish, were forced leave there a few years previously, during WWII. But the grandparents at their new location can still see the island across the water.

A particular tragedy that occurred during the exit of Roan Inish was Fiona's baby brother Jimmy (or Jemie) being set down on the shore while they were busy with the move, and the tide coming in and carrying him out to sea in his hand-carved cradle-boat and being lost forever.

This is probably one of the reasons Fiona's parents became so removed from her life - the mom dying and the dad drinking. But her dad's parents are strong and healthy people, taking care of themselves and Fiona and her cousin Eamon on the wild Irish coast.

Meanwhile, the grandfather likes to tell the family story about his great-grandfather, who one day found a selkie on shore. Selkies (or silkies) are large seals who magically shed their pelts and become human when they choose, such as to sunbathe on the rocks. The great-grandfather captured a beautiful selkie woman one day, and according to mystical tradition, must take her pelt and hide it. If he does not, she will find it, don it, and take back to the water as a seal.

It's considered a great thing to capture a selkie wife, and fortunately, he treats her very well and she happily bears their children - although something in her always longs for the sea. One day - and this is the risk of taking a selkie wife - one of the older children finds the hidden pelt and asks her mother what it is. Immediately she takes it on the shore and heads back into the sea. But these legends say that "mom" stays not too far out in the water, and can be seen as a special seal playing with the children when they swim.

Back to the present, Fiona looks out over the water to the abandoned island, wonders about the seals, and becomes certain she occasionally sees a light on the island at night. Grandmother is aggravated that Grandfather has "filled her head with tales" and she only imagines what she's seeing, but Fiona becomes quite adamant she's right about this and finds ways to visit the island.

One day there, she's certain she sees a little naked boy with a shock of black hair running away from her on the beach. (Although Fiona is fair-haired, there's usually a "black Irish" who is born in each generation in those families who may have a selkie ancestor.)

With her cousin Eamon's help, Fiona is determined to do "a bit of cleanin' up" of the cottages and help her grandparents move back to the island, which they long to do. But mainly she is determined to "find Jimmy" and solve the mystery of Roan Inish.

The Irish brogues of these local actors are so authentic that sometimes it's hard to understand their words, so subtitles can help. By the third or fourth time around for us, though - we understand them like family ourselves! And we remain entranced by the rugged land and wind and sea, with ancient Celtic music wafting throughout the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Il mio film preferito da sempre!

Ci ha messo un bel po'ad arrivare e c'era un contrassegno di 11 euro da pagare che è stata un po' una sorpresa. Nel complesso l'ho pagato molto di più di tanti altri DVD ma lo ricomprerei senza esitazione.
Il film l'ho conoscevo già , ne avevo una brutta copia su VHS ed erano anni che lo cercavo in DVD. È un film incantevole magico che mi emoziona ogni volta che lo guardo. Prende luogo nella contea di Donegal (nordovest dell'Irlanda) negli anni dopo la seconda guerra. Sia la scenografia che il dialetto sono molto fedeli all'epoca e luogo. Ben fatto e nonostante la storia in principio un po' triste, durante il film il mito e la magia prendono il sopravvento quindi la sensazione generale mentre lo si guarda è molto bella a differenza di tanti altri film ambientati nell'Europa del dopoguerra. Adatto ai grandi e piccoli(non piccolissimi). Lo stra consiglio (necessaria una buona conoscenza dell'inglese ovviamente...)

アイルランドの文化を勉強する流れでこの映画を観ました

個人的に楽しめたのが、さまざまな登場人物がそれぞれの訛りで話すのが、とても興味深く刺激的でした
(この辺りの感覚は劇中での「家族」としてのつながりは意識しませんでした)
この映画から英語の表現法をいくつか学ばせてもらいました

ちなみに字幕は二種類の英語(「かなりほぼ台詞どおり」のものと、「まあまあ台詞どおり」のもの)と、スペイン語字幕が付いています(劇中の一部でのアイルランド語が話されるシーンで、英語字幕すら出ない部分でも、スペイン語字幕は出るので、そこから意味をとったりしてました)

日本語字幕付きで見られたら嬉しいなというのが今の気持ちです

注意としては、DVDのリージョンコードが日本の一般と異なるので、再生機器によっては変更が必要です
私はPC内蔵のものと別に外付けDVDプレイヤーをつなげ、そちらを海外版コードDVD鑑賞用として使っていました

とても好きな映画です
もっとたくさん、アイルランドの日常的な場面が見られたらなあと想像してしまいます
ちなみに撮影のロケ地はおもに北方アイルランド、ドニゴールだそうです

監督のコメンタリー付きで、こちらは英語字幕もなかったと思いますが、とてもとても楽しめました
