It’s time for the interview and Dubliner Jim Sheridan, 77, has not yet appeared. The press pack have been warned. That morning, in the Madrid hotel where he is staying, there was no tortilla. And after asking at reception, he has sought out a pincho with his wife in the neighborhood. “He said that he loves it and wanted to get his hands on a good one,” the press was told. Through the windows of the hotel, you can see the man who made My Left Foot, The Field, In the Name of the Father, The Boxer, and In America, walking at a leisurely pace, which is reflected in his delivery during the interview. He likes to talk but calmly.
