One day a simple fisherman, trawling off the Irish coast, catches a beautiful and mysterious woman in his nets. She appears to be dead but, miraculously, comes back to life before his eyes. So begins Neil Jordan’s deeply enchanting fairy tale of a movie which effortlessly mixes myth and fantasy with the life of a fishing community on the jagged seascapes of the wild southwest Irish coast.
The fisherman, Syracuse, is a devilish, irresponsible loner, separated from his former wife and distanced from Annie, his wheelchair-bound daughter. But everyone’s drab and ordinary life is about to change with the arrival of the ethereal Ondine, the woman from the sea.
Ondine works as a beautifully wrought fable, a romantic re-imagining of the dreary lives of working people, lifted out of their daily routines by an exquisite, unfathomable stranger who suddenly appears in their midst. This is a wonderful Irish tale – the kind told on a rainy evening in a pub with a Guinness in hand.
