Product Description:
THE INSPIRATIONAL AND TRIUMPHANT STORY OF A MAN WHO DEFIES GREAT ODDS AND TAKES ON A MONUMENTAL CHALLENGE. A HEARTWARMING AND HUMOROUS FILM YOU CAN ENJOY OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Amazon.com:
An independent film from Britain, On a Clear Day tells the story of a man trying to come to terms with his past by setting a goal for the future: to swim across the English Channel. Frank (Peter Mullan) is a stoic man who tells his young grandson, "Things aren't meant to be fixed nowadays." After working all his life, the Glasgow shipbuilder finds himself middle-aged and jobless. His loving wife Joan (two-time Academy Award nominee Brenda Blethyn) tries to lessen the financial burden by learning to become a bus driver. Frank's relationship with his househusband son Rob (Jamie Sives) is distant at best. And though he doesn't speak of his other son, who drowned decades ago, Frank thinks of him often. Director Gaby Dellal reveals a gentle touch in the film's quieter moments. But she's just at home balancing the melodramatic moments (Rob confronting his father in a swimming pool) with comic relief (Frank's friendship with a woebegone group of men, including optimistic Danny, played by Billy Boyd from The Lord of the Rings). In the end, it's less important whether Frank's goals are met than mending his broken relationships. The finale is touching in the way it all plays out, because some things are meant to be fixed. --Jae-Ha Kim

I so enjoyed this DVD. Being very fond of English film it satified, edified and glorified that part of me that is Anglophile. The characters were wonderfully portrayed, and it made a feel-good film realistic.

The movie is wonderful. It isn't maudlin. It is a glimpse of people falling on hard times and overcoming. When you see the child with cerebrral palsy swim, which encourages the man to keep trying and not quit, you cannot help but cry. A beautiful movie. Excellent acting. Good plot. It makes you feel that your problems are small and spurs you on to conquer them.

We've been seeking out movies which are made in western Europe, they are very entertaining and different from movies produced in the U.S. "On A Clear Day" does not disappoint. There are several other movies of this type you should seek out; Waking Ned Devine, Saving Grace are but two.
