Focus on…Brooklyn

There have been many tales of immigration, but few of Irish-American immigrants. Adapted by Nick Hornby from Colm Toibin’s novel, Brooklyn tells the tale of a young Irish immigrant girl torn between two lovers in the ’50s.

Saoirse Ronan has earned a Best Actress nomination and the film has been honored with a Best Picture nomination, as well as Best Adapted Screenplay for Nick Hornby. Revisit the interviews with Ronan, director John Crowley, and the case for Brooklyn below.
