Au nom du père

En 1975, Gerry Conlon, jeune délinquant originaire de Belfast, est arrêté par la police londonienne qui l'accuse d'être l'instigateur des attentats terroristes à Guildford pour le compte de l'IRA. Sous la pression des policiers, Gerry signe des aveux fabriqués de toutes pièces qui non seulement le mettent en cause mais également Pau Hill son ami d'enfance, un couple d'amis hippies, ainsi que plusieurs membres de sa famille dont son propre père.

Based on a true story, this rousing and tough-minded film details British overzealousness in prosecuting an IRA bombing in the 1970s. Grabbing up a pair of small-time thieves (Daniel Day-Lewis and John Lynch) and their families, the government concocts a conspiracy case against them and tosses them all in jail. Until then, Day-Lewis has been a ne'er-do-well, an apolitical goof looking for a quick score. But confronted with the toughness of his own father (Pete Postlethwaite) in the face of British torture, he begins to realize just what the stakes are. In the Name of the Father is at times grueling and never less than compelling, with a complex performance by Day-Lewis and a strong one by Emma Thompson, as the lawyer who finally cracks through the British obstructions to the truth. –Marshall Fine
