Description
Cast: Trevor Howard, Mick Ford, Bernice Stegers
A film fairly brimming with a love of life and footloose freedom, this Dublin-set adaptation of Geneva writer Daniel Odier’s La Voie sauvage took the Grand Prix at Cannes. Young Jonas (Ford) becomes drawn to an elderly, typically Tanner-esque loner, Yoshka (Howard, excellent), who lives in a glum graveyard and jealously guards a secret which Jonas endeavors to learn.
