Daniel Iván's rating of the film A Fanatic Heart: Geldof On Yeats
Daniel Iván

An amazing and beautiful recount on Yeats' life and, at the same time, an amazing revisit on the best of the Irish spirit. Geldof is an amazing figure on his own terms and brings a lot of insight to the figure of this poet and of poetry itself. Fantastic in every sense.
