Summary: I got a sneak preview of “Belfast” one of the highlights of the 57th Chicago International Film Festival. This podcast includes my review followed by some pre-movie comments from the writer/director Sir Kenneth Branaugh who was present to introduce his semi-autobiographical film."Belfast" is told from the viewpoint a nine year-old boy as his world is turned upside down by the 1969 turmoil of Northern Ireland that consumed his neighborhood and ultimately his innocence.
