The newest pitch-black comedy from Academy Award-winning writer-director Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards, In Bruges), The Banshees of Inisherin follows lifelong friends Padraic and Colm (played by In Bruges’ Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson), who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship. A stunned Padraic, aided by his sister Siobhan (Kerry Condon) and troubled young islander Dominic (Barry Keoghan), endeavors to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer. But Padraic’s repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve and, when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate with shocking consequences.
Winner of Best Actor (Colin Farrell) and Best Screenplay at the 79th Venice Film Festival.
