'It must be done right!' with Donal mcCann

About this movie

A Documentary Tribute to Donal McCann. The basis of this documentary was the first and only public interview given by the actor. It happened at the Galway Film Fleadh in July 1998 where McCann enthralled the audience in the Town Hall with humour and frankness, his insights into art and life, success and failure, the mistakes that became masterstrokes, the performances that touched on the spiritual. Gerry Stembridge was his accomplice for the two hours. Bernardo Bertolucci, John Turturro, Pat Laffan, Lelia Doolan, Hugh Leonard, Gabriel Byrne, Sinéad Cusack, Neil Jordan, Joan O'Hara, Jim Sheridan, Sebastian Barry, Michael D. Higgins, Robert Ballagh all talk about the man they knew, admired and tried to understand. This is an attempt to reveal the personality that lay behind the art of one of the great actors of our time. Donal McCann died in July 1999, age 56. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.
