Watch out, spoilers! ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- "The Banshees of Inisherin" / The Banshees of Inisherin, 2022, is a film in which Irish director and screenwriter Martin McDonagh decided to shoot two actors he loved - Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, with whom he once successfully debuted in the film "Lie to the bottom in Bruges". In the genre it is again a black tragicomedy. The case takes place in 1923 on the fictional Irish island of Inisherina, somewhere on the mainland there is a civil war, gunfire is thundering, and here the same ordinary life of ordinary people with their simple everyday affairs is going on. Everyone knows each other, so an unexpected event interests everyone, and the event is such that one of two old friends, a local folk singer and composer Colm Doherty (Brendan Gleeson), who composes simple melodies, suddenly decides to renounce his old friend Padraik Suilleabhain (Colin Farrell), say he is too boring, he is wasting time with him, and it is time to think about the eternal and think about what he will leave behind, he decides that he needs to seriously take music, but no one will remember his music. Padraik and the locals can not believe it, continues in every possible way to appeal to former friendly feelings, but Colm is adamant. Moreover, he eventually gives Padraika an ultimatum - if he does not lag behind, then after every contact he will be scissors for shearing sheep to cut off his finger. As it turns out, he was not joking at all and carries out his threat, then more, other tragic events occur. In the end, Colm believes that he may be ready to resume relations with Padraik, but then Padraik stands in position, we will never know how this confrontation will end. Who are the banshees? These are fairy women in Irish folklore, foreshadowing death, there is such a banshee. And that's what Colm wants to call his composition. It would seem that a rather simple plot with rather simple characters, but human drama is always a human drama, you inevitably wonder what these stupid invented human conflicts are worth, why people persist in their invented ideas, perhaps you should not neglect friendship, especially if a person has done nothing wrong to you? The actors are good, they look authentic in their roles.
