This paper deals with some still images from the film Angela’s ashes:
A memoir, directed by Alan Parker and based on the Pulitzer-Prize-winning
memoir with the same title, by Frank McCourt. The analysis of the images shows that Parker sometimes transfers and at other times adapts (according to Brian MacFarlane’s theory of film adaptation) the material of the memoir or the narrator’s experience as a boy, and his specific view of Limerick, Ireland, at a particular time in history.
