Dancing at Lughnasa
Here is the film version. it should carry a Government Health Warning as it does not follow the chronology of the play or keep the setting as claustrophobic. You might expect this as the literature is translated as entertainment. However, some of the scenes might paint a picture for you - especially the sisters' dance, which in the film is not until the end (about 1hr 14 mins in)
