Review of The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) by Lisalr1 — 20 Nov 2022
THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN from writer/director Martin McDonagh (In Bruges), re-teams Brendan Gleeson (Colm) & Colin Farrell (Pádraic) in a dark comedy set on an island off the coast of Ireland at the end of the Irish Civil War in 1923.
Colm's abrupt decision to end his friendship with Pádraic creates upheaval in the ordinary lives of the islanders. Colin Farrell steals the film, brilliantly conveying BANSHEES themes of kindness, isolation, importance of human connection.
Features cinematography by Ben Davis, shot along Ireland's west coast, equal parts bleak, ominous, breathtakingly beautiful.
