Tara Brady
Curator, Pynchon nut, critic and president of the Dublin Film Critics Circle, Tara Brady has been lurking around Dublin’s cinemas for so long she has her own seat in most of them. In the ongoing race to the bottom of useless academic qualifications, she likes to believe her own Masters dissertation on Hong Kong’s pre-unification wuxia pian film constitutes the world’s most useless degree. Her work has appeared in The Times and several snooty periodicals but her regular gigs are Hot Press and Today FM, where she draws record numbers of complaints on a weekly basis.
