This Wednesday, December 28 comes out The Banshees of Inisherin, the new 100% Irish film from Martin McDonagh. Barely showing in American cinemas, it won an award at the Venice Film Festival. And he is already the favorite of the Golden Globes, which will be held on January 10.
A wild, inhospitable island, cliffs and paths of dark stone. British director and screenwriter Martin McDonagh chose the island of Inishmore – a beautiful landscape from his childhood – to capture this drama.
island madness
A spun metaphor of the Irish civil war, which takes place in the distance in the early 1920s. Overnight, Colm, camped by the brilliant Brendan Gleeson, decides not to speak to his friend Padriac anymore. Incomprehensible for the character brilliantly played by Colin Farrell.
An ambiguous relationship, a mixture of friendship and hatred, develops between the two men, pushing them to self-destruction. An echo of the clashes between the two Irish independence camps.
Imbued with Celtic legends, The Banshees of Inisherin is a chilling film, but also touching and funny, thanks to a tongue-in-cheek humour.
