on a clear day
From our favorite production company, Focus Features, On a Clear Day is another great find. Taking place in Scotland, Frank finds himself unemployed after 32 faithful years of service to his company. He not only has to face the world without a job, but also ends up facing the emotional hurts he never dealt with in the past. In order to do this, he decides to push his physical capabilities to the edge as he attempts to swim the English Channel. With the help of a great cast of friends (including the welcome return of Billy Boyd) this was a good film with heart and laughter.

Thanks for the review. I saw this in the video store the other day and thought that it had the potential to be great or awful. I'll have to check it out.

I saw that film at last year's Sarajevo Film Festival. I thought it was excellent. I believe the director was in attendence at the festival.
A lot of the movies I saw at the festival were heavy and hard to watch, but On a Clear Day was one I left wanting to see again. I'm glad to hear it's available in the US now (wasn't at Christmas-time when I looked).
