Clouded Reveries (2022)

"Clouded Reveries" (Aisling Tri Neallaibh) feels like a personal invitation to enter the world of poet, essayist and novelist Doireann Ni Ghriofa. Director Ciara Nic Chormaic's Irish-language documentary is intimate and illuminating as it sensitively chronicles Ni Ghriofa's process, interests and influences. The conversation between past and present is central to her creativity and to this sympathetic profile. Even to those unfamiliar with Ni Ghriofa's work, Clouded Reveries still casts a warm spell and should prove an ideal fit for arts channels.
