Angela’s Ashes tells a powerful, autobiographical story of one boys’ upbringing in the 1930s. Born in Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants, Frank grew up in Limerick after his parents (Robert Carlyle and Emily Watson) returned to Ireland disillusioned with future prospects in America. Based on Frank McCourt’s 1997 Pultizer Prize-winning novel of the same name, Alan Parker’s film combines stories of hunger, poverty and social deprivation with laughter, kindness and the warmth of the human spirit.
