What The Commitments Is About
A group of unemployed young people in Dublin form a band to play soul. The one who assembles them believes this is the music of the working class. The film's subject is not the rise but the way they cannot stand one another; as the rehearsals go on the music improves and the people fall apart. The songs were recorded live and most of the cast are working musicians. Alan Parker directed, adapting Roddy Doyle's novel, shot in Dublin. Before watching: the accents are thick and the slang constant, so it can be hard going without subtitles. The film also makes no promise of success at the end.
