So This Is Christmas is an Irish documentary about five ordinary characters navigating personal dilemmas over the festive period.
An Irish documentary about five ordinary characters as they navigate personal dilemmas triggered by this overwhelming time of year,is heartbreaking and nostalgic in equal measure… and I think everyone should watch it.
I think everyone should see it, I tell a delighted Wardrop over Zoom. “Oh, that’s lovely to hear. I’m particularly nervous about it. You’re never quite sure how people are going to react. So, it’s, it’s going to be an interesting journey this. Look, it won’t be everybody’s cup of tea and people will find it a hard watch and a reminder, and, you know, a complicated journey through these different stories, but equally, I think it is an important film, I think there’s a message in there for us all.
The idea for a Christmas film was always something he wanted to explore, though he wasn’t sure in what format. A creative documentary felt like the right fit, and finding characters to interview turned out to be surprisingly easy. “This film only has five characters, it’s the deepest I’ve ever gotten with anybody in a film. So I think that has been a particularly beautiful experience because I really got to know these people and become friends.
“Even though the search could have been nationwide, researchers found these people within their own spheres. That doesn’t surprise me because their stories are very familiar. There’s someone next door to us who is experiencing something very similar to one of these characters… it made sense ultimately, that we would turn to our own worlds and just find these people around us.
