Brendan Gleeson, Swedish drama and a plate of potted crab bring us all the way back to the rugged west of Ireland
Difficult Irishmen, reassemble: 14 years after Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson bickered In Bruges, they have reunited with director Martin McDonagh for The Banshees of Inisherin, a “macabre black comedy of toxic male pride”. No change there, then. After American sojourns, McDonagh revisits a 1920s west of Ireland locale more akin to the early plays that made his name.
