REVIEWS
"Pat Collins has made many fine films down the years, and surpasses himself with this elegiac
adaptation of John McGahern’s final novel." ★★★★★ Paul Whitington, Irish Independent

"Subtle, sensitive, and dynamically understated throughout, Barry Ward is the fulcrum of this quietly
magnificent film experience." Hilary A White, Sunday Independent (ireland)

"[A] staggeringly beautiful and delicately moving drama, which thoughtfully examines life in a close-knit
rural community." Andrew Murray, The Upcoming

ACCESSIBILITY
This film will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles. Please read on for more information.

Hull Independent Cinema is working towards creating more accessibility for our audiences. HIC have decided to present all our films with descriptive subtitles, where available.

Descriptive subtitles refer to subtitles intended for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. They are also known as HOH (Hard of Hearing) subtitles or SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing). These subtitles are a transcription rather than a just translation; in addition to reproducing dialogue, they aim to describe additional non-dialogue sounds available to a hearing audience, e.g. “(sighs)” or “(door creaks)” and song lyrics. In our experience, guests do not find the subtitles distracting, especially as the majority of our films are subtitled foreign language films.

AGE RATING
THAT THEY MAY FACE THE RISING SUN is rated 15. Under 15s will not be admitted. For more information, please see the film's page on the BBFC website
