About this event
One lifelong friend abruptly decides to end the friendship, and what starts as a simple dispute spirals into something absurd and devastating on a remote Irish island. That's the premise of The Banshees of Inisherin, Martin McDonagh's darkly comic drama set during the Irish Civil War, reuniting Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as the estranged pair. Winner of multiple BAFTAs and nominated for nine Academy Awards, the film pairs McDonagh's signature wit with a deeper meditation on isolation, mortality and the human need for connection — hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure, and widely seen as one of the defining films of the decade. The Independent called it a masterpiece of tragicomic storytelling, while The New York Times praised its unexpected depth. Free entry & popcorn - arrive early for sofa, bed, or beanbag seating.
