Like The Snapper (1993), it was directed by Stephen Frears. (The first movie of the trilogy, The Commitments (1991), was directed by Alan Parker). It was entered into the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.[2] The film stars Colm Meaney and Donal O'Kelly. PlotBrendan "Ay llorón" Reeves gets laid off from his job as a baker in Barrytown, a working-class quarter of Dublin. With his redundancy cheque, he buys a van and sells fish and chips with his best mate, Larry. Due, in part, to Ireland's surprising success at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, their business starts off well. However, the relationship between the two friends soon becomes strained as Bimbo and his wife, Maggie, behave more and more like typical bosses. Larry believes that Maggie is the cause of the strained friendship, as he thinks she is pushing Bimbo away from him. Then the van is closed down because of poor hygiene by health inspector Des O'Callaghan. Bimbo thinks that Larry told the Health Board about the van, leading to a fight between the two. Larry quits the job, despite Bimbo's best efforts to get him back. Bimbo then drives the van into the sea, so as to win his friendship with Larry back. Cast{{div col}}
ReceptionRoger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "When I saw The Van for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival in 1996, I felt it was the least of the three films, and I still do, but it was trimmed of about five minutes of footage after Cannes and, seeing it again a year later, I found it quicker and more alive. It is also the most thoughtful, in a way, and the ending has a poignancy and an unresolved quality that is just right: These disorganized lives would not fit into a neat ending.[3]Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a score of 38% based on reviews from 21 critics.[4]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=van.htm|title=The Van (1997) | work=Box Office Mojo | publisher=IMDb | accessdate=12 May 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/ficheFilm/id/4698/year/1996.html |title=Festival de Cannes: The Van |accessdate=2009-09-19|work=festival-cannes.com}} 3. ^{{cite web | first=Roger | last=Ebert | title=The Van | url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-van-1997 | website=RogerEbert.com | publisher=Ebert Digital LLC | date=June 27, 1997 | accessdate=May 12, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1077062-van/|title=The Van|author=|date=|publisher=|accessdate=12 May 2018}} External links
