The first thing you see in director Pat Collins’ uncommonly lovely new film, That They May Face the Rising Sun, is a very lengthy shot of a gorgeous Irish lake surrounded by dense green trees and topped by the rising sun. The first thing you really notice are the sounds: the chirping birds, the blowing of a gentle wind, the crunching of gravel. The film takes place in the 1970s, before the advent of modern technological noise, both literal and figurative, and that’s no accident. Collins is asking us to sink into a time that unfolds in gentle waves and comforting rhythms and a place of natural and (mostly) unspoiled beauty.
