Following the death of her husband, a woman struggles to provide for her seven children – but first must pay for his funeral. She is forced to borrow money from a loan shark, which only adds to her problems. Daydreaming of Welsh heartthrob Tom Jones, however, provides a respite from her troubles – but surely she could never afford a ticket to his forthcoming concert?, Actress Anjelica Huston directed and stars in this drama based on Brendan O’Carroll’s novel The Mammy. Set in Dublin in 1967, Agnes Browne (Anjelica Huston) is the mother of seven children, barely making ends meet when her husband dies, leaving her to figure out not only how to support the family, but also how to pay for a funeral. To cover the burial expenses, Agnes resorts to borrowing money from a loan shark (Ray Winstone) who isn’t interested in special deals for widows or orphans. Agnes learns to scrape up a living selling fruit and vegetables, and makes sure her children get the best education possible, but self-sacrificing Agnes would like one small luxury for herself: Tom Jones will be playing a concert in town soon, and she’d like nothing more than to hear the man sing “It’s Not Unusual” live and in person. A French baker with eyes for Agnes (Arno Chevrier) joins forces with her children to see that she gets her wish. Agnes Browne boasts an accurate portrayal of Ireland in the late 1960s, thanks in part to the fact that Huston spent a great deal of time there as a child; the film was shown as part of the Directors Fortnight series at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival., Anjelica Huston returns to the country of her childhood for a warm story of a dirt-poor Dublin mother forced to borrow money from loanshark Ray Winstone to pay for the burial of her husband. Look out for Welsh baritone Tom Jones., In Dublin, 1967, a woman with seven children is suddenly faced with the travails of widowhood. After the unexpected death of her husband, life becomes something less than a picnic for Agnes, what with children ranging in age from two to fourteen and no assets to speak of. She keeps her head above water and some food on the table by selling fruit at an outdoor market, but makes barely enough to make ends meet, while she awaits her widow’s pension from her late husband’s union. It’s a bleak state of affairs for Agnes, who luckily has a dear friend, Marion, who is always there for her. With friendship, a sense of humour, and the dream of seeing Tom Jones in concert, Agnes has enough to keep her going as she manages to take it all one day at a time.
