The film “The Banshees of Inisherin”, a new work by director Martin McDonagh (Oscar winner for “Three Advertisements for a Murder”), received a standing ovation for 14 minutes after its screening at the Venice Film Festival.
The plot takes place in 1923, around the time of the Irish Civil War, when an older boy (Brendan Gleeson, from the “Harry Potter” franchise) suddenly stops talking to his old friend (Colin Farrell, from “Batman”) on the isolates Inisherin’s narrative, without giving him an explanation. The decision ends up having consequences for both of us.
“I am delighted to see male friendship as something precious at a time when the readjustment of everyone’s relationship with everyone is being reconsidered,” Gleeson said during a press conference on Monday (5/9). “The appreciation of male friendship in a bromance is very deep and relevant to me right now.”
Farrell went even further, saying that the film is at odds with the contemporary world, saying that the “information age” we live in has a disadvantage, as it “takes us away from the necessary intimacy and interests that are necessary. to exist “.
“Talking, sharing thoughts and feelings with each other is the opposite of this world so fast in making judgments about others, we are so fast in eliminating people, now with this culture of undoing and all those things. But really having a conversation and exchanging ideas in order to be open to changing your mind is a beautiful thing. I don’t think it’s ever going to die, even if it’s been a bit supplanted by technology. “
“The Banshees of Inisherin” marked a reunion of Farrell and Gleeson with the director, 14 years after the three worked together on “In the Eye of the Boss” (2008). Farrell also appeared in McDonagh’s next film, “Seven Psychopaths and a Shih Tzu” (2012).
“I can’t imagine turning down anything he writes because he’s such an amazing writer,” Farrell said of McDonagh’s work. “I am always so deeply moved and psychologically touched by the worlds he creates and the characters he draws.”
Gleeson also said that his time with McDonagh and Farrell filming “In the Boss’s Eye” was “creative and personally refreshing” and that he was looking forward to repeating that experience.
Unlike the trio’s previous work, which was shot in Belgium, this new film was shot in Ireland, which pleased the director very much. “Doing something in Ireland was awe-inspiring, especially in the West of Ireland. It was a dream of mine,” he said. “The whole area we shot was where I used to travel as a kid to visit relatives. That’s where my dad came from.”
The cast of “The Banshees of Inisherin” also includes Barry Keoghan (“The Eternals”) and Kerry Condon (“Better Call Saul”). The film arrives in American theaters on October 21, but is not yet scheduled for release in Brazil.
