What a topic today: Brooklyn  (2015)   

Have you seen it? It’s one of my favourite movies. 

Apart from the language barrier, this movie incorporates pretty much all the topics I talk about in this podcast.

Eilis, a young Irish woman, has to move to New York in 1951 because of the recession in Ireland. She feels desperately homesick for several months before adapting to her new life. A tragedy happens back home in Ireland and so she’s confronted with a question we’re all familiar with: Should I stay or should I go (back home)?

In this episode, I want to talk about some of the scenes and explore the topics a bit further. There will be mild spoilers, I won’t reveal anything that’s not in the trailer, so you can listen away even if you haven’t seen it. I do recommend you to see it.

A quick reminder, all the transcriptions are available on my website connect2languages.com This episode is in my native language: en français. If you’re interested in learning French, visit my website connect2french.com.
