Customer Reviews of An Everlasting Piece
Battle Of The Baldies Set in divided Ireland "sometime in the 1980s", AN EVERLASTING PIECE is a rather different movie from director Barry Levinson (whose credits range from the excellent RAIN MAN to the embarressing junk that was TOYS).
Barry McEvoy (who also wrote this) plays Colin, a Catholic barber who specialises in mental patients. Billy Connolly is a fellow barber who is admitted to the institution after going mad and scalping four of his clients, so Colin and his Protestant friend George (Bryan F. O'Byrne) take over his business, and extend it to include toupees. Unfortunately when pronounced in an Irish accent "hairpiece" sounds a bit like "herpes", so this doesn't help the business grow. Billy Connolly has little screen time, but he shines as usual ("Did you ever read Saint Paul's letter to the hermaphrodites?"). The supporting cast also includes Pauline McLynn, best known as Mrs Doyle on FATHER TED.
AN EVERLASTING PIECE is not a movie with a lot of substance but it's watchable. If you enjoyed movies like WAKING NED DEVINE this will be right up your alley.
Charming!
I stumbled on this video at the library and checked it out simply because I was attracted to the picture of a wig sitting on the earth. I'm so glad I did. An Everlasting Piece skillfully weaves the conflict in Northern Ireland with the story of two friends who set out to run a hair piece business. Although a few scenes are a bit pointless and seem to have been added simply to make Colm's family appear eccentric--the mother with the knickers on her head, the naked boy on the couch--these scenes are so charming that you forgive their irrelevance. As an Irish American, I found the scenes that focused on the troubles to be particularly poignant. I highly recommend this movie.
War and Piece
This movie is much more than a funny story about selling hairpieces. It's also about the difficulty of maintaining a friendship when you are on opposite sides of a conflict. Just living in the middle of the situation is struggle enough, but trying to rise above it is a life changing enterprise. Funny, sad, endearing.
