The next Movie at the Market House is ‘Banshees of Inisherin’ starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, directed by Martin McDonagh.
‘Banshees of Inisherin’ is set in Ireland in the 1920s and is the story of two friends who find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, bringing alarming consequences for both of them. A film not to be missed.
The film has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Brendon Gleeson), Best Original Score, Best Screenplay and Best Editing at the forthcoming Oscars ceremony in March. The two starring actors were in director Martin McDonagh’s first film ‘In Bruges’ which won a number of top awards. McDonagh’s later film ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ also won a host of awards and became an inspiration to many activist groups around the world including Bristol NHS workers, the Grenfell Tower protesters, gun control activists in the USA and public protests in China.
