Martin McDonagh’s reunion with Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell
Fourteen years after “In Bruges”, Martin McDonagh reunites Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell in his new film “The Banshees of Inisherin”
Set in the fictional island of Inisherin during the very real Irish Civil War in 1923, Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are two lifelong pals whose friendship is shattered after conflict arises.
Following “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and “Seven Psychopaths,” McDonagh opted to revisit the onscreen dynamic between Gleeson and Farrell found in “In Bruges,” this time telling a “break-up story,” as McDonagh revealed to Vanity Fair. Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon also star in the McDonagh’s first feature set in his native Ireland.
“The Banshees of Inisherin” is nominated for the “Golden Lion” prize in Venice International Film Festival and premieres October 21 from Searchlight.
