The only film that could put people off eating cake.

THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE for Cáca Milis sums up the film pretty succinctly.

But there are still many questions we need to ask about this film. Let’s begin.

1. Did Catherine’s mother ever get to go to the toilet in the end?

2. Why did Catherine give the carer her entire car, instead of just her mother?

3. Where was Catherine off to in that outfit?

Work? A court date for killing some other elderly person? Who knows?

4. Why was a mother, her daughter and her carer conversing in Irish at Killester DART station? It’s not exactly the Gaeltacht.

5. What are the chances that the next passenger to enter the train would also be speaking Irish?

9. Why didn’t Catherine just tell Paul that she wasn’t very good at speaking Irish when he started to annoy her?

This could have saved her a lot of bother.

11. Why did Paul put four sugars in his tiny coffee?

It’s a shame he didn’t live to see the Frappucinos of 2017 that contain 20 teaspoons of sugar. He would have been all over that.

Swallow your bit of cake before you start knocking back the coffee.

20. Where’s Catherine now?

Cáca Milis was made in 2001. Sixteen years ago. Cáca Milis is the same age as the teenagers studying it on the Leaving Cert this year. In those 16 years Catherine has been in Fair City (of course), Veronica Guerin and several other projects.
