Talk of Angels is a film directed in 1996 by Nick Hamm, but not released by its production company, Miramax, until 1998.
Based on the 1936 novel Mary Lavelle by Kate O'Brien,[2] which was banned in Ireland when first published,[3] with a script co-written by Ann Guedes and Frank McGuinness, Talk Of Angels tells the story of a young Irish governess who travels to Spain in the mid-1930s to teach English to the young daughters of a prominent family. Over the course of the film, she becomes drawn to the family's married eldest son, and their affair unfolds with the increasing violence associated with the early days of the Spanish Civil War as a backdrop.[4]
