Jazz film: KNEECAP
The story of the rap trio Kneecap, who want to save the Irish language – with anarchy, black humor and heavy bass. A wild, energetic and award-winning film called “Trainspotting for our time”.
This wild account of how the rap group "Kneecap" came into being contains a lot of black humor, a good portion of drama, some sex, lots of rap beats and three anti-authoritarian anarchist young men who want to preserve Irish identity in the oppressive Northern Irish society.
The film about the anarchists in the rap group "Kneecap" is on a winning streak after winning the Audience Award at the 2024 Sundance Festival. It is now also winning a number of awards in the UK and is Ireland's Oscar candidate.
Look forward to lots of black humor and catchy rap in a film that is being highlighted as a contemporary Trainspotting and clear references to Blues Brothers og This is Spinal Tap – an instant cult film, in other words!
