Description
In full color throughout, including the complete screenplay, essays by the screenwriters, and a lengthy Q&A with Oscar®-nominated Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot).
With their two young daughters in tow, Johnny and Sarah emigrate from Ireland to New York City in pursuit of a dream. The family uses ingenuity and sheer strength of will to make the most of their new life. Ultimately it is their kindness to a stranger and that stranger's response in return that builds their new home.
Starring Samantha Morton, Paddy Considine, Sarah Bolger, and Djimon Hounsou, In America was written by Sheridan and his daughters, Naomi and Kristen.
In the acclaimed Newmarket Shooting Script Format, the book includes a facsimile of the shooting script, a foreword from Jim Sheridan, movie stills and full cast and crew credits.
"Brimming with true and privileged moments, as well as an optimism in the face of tough circumstances that serves as a corrective to some of the more fashionably grim modern accounts of similar stories." —Todd McCarthy, Variety
"A richly observed, beautifully written and performed winner by any name, layered with the elements that are both amusing and touching but never threatening to collapse into a big heap of sentimental mush." —Michael Rechtshaffen, HollywoodReporter.com
"Simultaneously comic and sad, In America captures the dreams of the modern-day immigrant family...A realistic movie, but one that's always aware that transformative hope may be just around the corner." —Richard Schickel, Time
"One of the best movies of the year" —Richard Roeper, Ebert and Roeper |
