** The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) **
Starring the same lead actors with the same director, this movies is much darker and less lighthearted than In Bruges. Tragicomedy with much more emphasis on the “tragi” part, I found it unsettling and terrifying by the end. But it has the same tightly woven dialogue and self-references that In Bruges had!
Set on a remote fictional island off the west coast of Ireland in 1923, two lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship. A lot of strangeness ensues. The civil war rages in the background and there’s definitely no metaphors or symbolism here.
It’s 1h54min long so we will try to start promptly at 5:30 Eastern US Time to provide for enough buffer and not eat into the regularly scheduled movie night which starts at 8PM Eastern US time (but it may depend when I get home). Aiming for a hard start time at 6PM Eastern US time.

- Violence, gore, self-mutilation depicted screen
- Dismemberment, trauma to the hand, depicted on screen.
