‘An Cailín Ciúin,’ as it’s titled in Irish, is Colm Bairéad’s feature film debut, which is based on Claire Keegan’s novella ‘Foster.’
It’s two days after Colm Bairéad attended the 2023 Oscar nominees luncheon and the Irish writer-director of “The Quiet Girl” is still processing his first time at the star-studded annual event.
“The Quiet Girl” is the first-ever Irish-language film nominated for an Academy Award. Seen here are Catherine Clinch, right, as Cait, and Andrew Bennett, left, as Sean. Writer-director Colm Bairéad’s film is nominated for best international feature. “The Quiet Girl,” or “An Cailín Ciúin” as it’s titled in Irish, is Bairéad’s feature film debut after working mostly in non-fiction filmmaking until now. There’s a documentarian’s eye for small, beautiful moments in this new film, and it’s a fellow documentary filmmaker, the Northern Irish director Mark Cousins, whose words inspired Bairéad to find the story in this subtle tale.
From the filmmaker’s perspective, though, Keegan’s “Foster,” which was published in an abridged version in the New Yorker magazine in 2010 and has since been published as a book here in the U.S., presented challenges in its choice to favor character over plot. Clinch, however, was discovered in Dublin in an Irish-immersion elementary school where all subjects are taught in the land’s native tongue, Bairéad says.
“Her ability to take directions is really extraordinary,” Bairéad says. “I would say of all the actors, she had the least amount of takes throughout the movie. Which is kind of extraordinary.”In different hands, “Foster” might have been adapted as a film made in English, the language in which Keegan wrote it. But Bairéad, who was born in 1981, the same year in which “The Quiet Girl” is set, has a long history in Irish-language narrative shorts and documentaries.
