Set on an island off the west coast of Ireland, The Banshees of Inisherin follows two lifelong friends, Padraic and Colm, who find themselves at an impasse when Colm abruptly decides to end their friendship. With the support of his sister Siobhan, who along with the local policeman’s son Dominic has her own qualms within the small island community, a confused and devastated Padraic attempts to reignite their relationship. But when Colm delivers a shocking ultimatum in order to crystalize his intention, events start to escalate to fractious heights. The Banshees of Inisherin is a comedydrama film written and directed by British-Irish filmmaker Martin McDonagh, who received seven nominations including Best Picture with his previous film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017). The Banshees of Inisherin stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Barry Keoghan and was premiered in the competition at this year’s Venice.
