Jake Williams

An ailing old Irish man (Healy) lives out his final days. As death approaches, the man's memories drift backwards and forwards to recall various events, both pleasant and not so pleasant... (BBC Film Review)

A delicate and witty portrait of Jake, an outsider who lives in the wilderness of his own creation. (bfi.org.uk)

Four-part drama about a working class Dublin family with an abusive, drunken father. Each episode is seen through the eyes of a different member of the family.

Bogancloch is where Jake Williams lives, nestled in a vast highland forest of Scotland. The film portrays his life throughout the seasons, with other people occasionally crossing into his otherwise solitary life. At the heart a song, an argument between life and death, each stating their case to rule over the world. The film is without exposition, it aims at something less recognisable, a different existence of reality observed in discrete moments.
