Conspiracy of Silence - COO

No, you are not on the other forum  :hysterical:

I'm getting ready to watch this movie and the overview says "Cover-up, conspiracy and murder all lead to scandal and intrigue in this riveting Irish thriller" but dvdp and imdb both have UK as the coo.  Anybody knows anything about this movie ?  Is it an "Irish Thriller" because it was shot in Ireland or because the story takes place in Ireland ?

Remember that Northern Ireland is part of the UK anyway.

Found on starpulse.com


U.K. filmmaker John Deery makes his writing and directing feature debut with the religious drama Conspiracy of Silence, dealing with the controversial topic of reforming the Catholic Church. At an Irish seminary school, student Daniel McLaughlin (Jonathan Forbes) is caught in a compromising position with fellow male student Noel (Owen McDonnell). He is subsequently kicked out of school and considers marrying his ex-girlfriend Sinead (Catherine Walker). Meanwhile, reporter David Foley (Jason Barry) investigates the suicide of HIV-positive priest Father Sweeney (Patrick Casey). Foley learns that Sweeney was romantically involved with former priest Matthew Francis (John Lynch), but Monsignor Thomas (Fintan McKeown) resorts to unjust tactics in order to cover up the story. Brenda Fricker also appears as Daniel's mother. Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

"U.K filmmaker" and "At an Irish....." seems to indicate that it's a British movie with a story taking place in Ireland.  Sounds interesting anyway and definitely in line with "Our Fathers" that I watched last night.  Maybe we finally found a Brit movie I'm gonna like  :laugh:
