About
You can stream Man of Aran (1934) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.
A documentary on the life of the people of the Aran Islands, who were believed to contain the essence of the ancient Irish life, represented by a pure uncorrupted peasant existence centred around the struggle between man and his hostile but magnificent surroundings. A blend of documentary and fictional narrative, the film captures the everyday trials of life on Ireland's unforgiving Aran Islands.
Surviving the Atlantic's violent swells requires more than just luck when your entire community depends on the harvest of the sea. This cinematic relic captures a vanishing way of life through breathtakingly raw footage of the Aran Islands.
