Part of a Canadian educational series, this visual illustration of the poem ‘The Beggars of Dublin’ by renowned Canadian poet Alden Nowlan follows a visitor to Dublin, as he disembarks from a plane and wanders the streets of Dublin encountering beggars and homeless people along the way.
Directed by Paul Quigley, A Sense of Poetry leans on a strong ensemble — John Granik — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1975.
