The Banshees of Inisherin
Imagine the following for yourself: you have been very good friends with someone for many years, and overnight that person cancels the friendship out of the blue. What does that do to you? British director Martin McDonagh, best known for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, shows it in his now critically acclaimed new film. He does so with nuance and humour, and starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleesom.
PƔdraic and Colm, they live on a small Irish island, have been best friends for years, every day going for a drink at the local pub. One day PƔdraic finds himself at Colm's door locked, and Colm doesn't show up at the pub either. When PƔdraic comes to ask for an explanation later that day, he is told that the friendship is over; Colm no longer wants to see him, no longer wants to speak to him. PƔdraic is horrified and tries all sorts of things to change Colm's mind, but the latter is really determined...
