''Intermission'' is a 2003 Irish black comedy crime film directed by John Crowley and written by Mark O'Rowe. The film, set in Dublin, Ireland, has been shot in a documentary-like style, and contains several storylines which cross over one another. == Plot == John and Deirdre are a recently separated young couple with an extended group of interrelated friends, family and co-workers. Lehiff is a petty criminal always involved in trouble. Lehiff's nemesis, Garda Detective Jerry Lynch presents himself as a saviour who fights the "scumbags" on Dublin's streets, and enlists the help of Ben Campion , an ambitious film-maker and the bane of his "go-softer" boss, who considers Lynch too nasty a subject to be shown on a mainstream “docusoap” series on Irish television. While shooting a scene about a traffic accident, Ben is told to focus his attention on Sally, Deirdre's sister, who helped the passengers after the double-decker bus they were on crashed. Sally is deeply insecure about her looks who grows bitter when Deirdre flaunts her new boyfriend, Sam, a middle-aged bank manager who has left his wife of 14 years, Noeleen, leaving her to question her own self-worth as a woman and wife. John is utterly lost without Deirdre and is determined to win her back. He gets involved in an absurd plan along with Mick, the driver of the bus that crashed, and Lehiff. They kidnap Sam and force him to go to his bank to get money for a ransom. Things go awry when Sam, who has the money, is assaulted by an enraged Noeleen on the street and a couple of police officers appear. Mick and John flee the scene without their money. Mick, who lost his job after the bus crash, becomes obsessed with taking revenge on Philip, the boy who had lobbed the stone into the bus windscreen. Things do not go quite his way, and he ends up learning a bitter lesson. Detective Lynch corners Lehiff in an open field, and the scene is set for a confrontation that ends in an unexpected way. As the credits roll, Noeleen and Sam are back together in their house watching television. She is sitting purposely on the remote control and bullying him into changing the channels by hand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Intermission (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
