A Sense of Loss
Documentary
Ophuls turned to the conflict in Northern Ireland that was attracting the world's attention and which had recently exploded into "Bloody Sunday". With Bernadette Devlin charismatically representing the new face of Republicanism and Ian Paisley emerging as a spokesman for grassroots Unionism, Ophuls also focuses on the emotions that give his powerful film its title, voiced by a couple grieving over the death of their baby.
