The banshees of Inisherin
is a movie directed and written by Martin McDonagh. The action is set in the 1920s and Inisherin is a small island in Ireland. The life and the habits of the inhabitants are unshakeable and nothing can stop the flow of time, not even the war on the main Island.
Nothing?
Well, that's not true. The movie starts with Colm trying to leave by ending his friendship with Padraic. This event is quite singular, Friendship rarely die like a breakup in a couple. From that point, the event contaminates the entire community. This is fun to understand as the redundacy of the poor sentences and words propagates in the people talking and gossips. The comic effect coming from this writing and the film editing perfectly works.
Most of the characters try to runaway from the motonomy in the village. Their state of mind is well transduced by filming the background and the landscape which are mainly meadows separated by small stone walls, cliffs and the sea. (see how the characters are separated by the landscape on the images below).
As my description of the movie today is tad cold, it missed me something that really implied me emotionally somewhere on the road. Is it the balance between humour and sadness? lack of poignant images? Although the actor plays was great, there was something I didn't believe in the words the friends used. It was a good movie, but I think I'll forget it soon.

L'homme est un être acharné qui finit décharné

Ne vous fiez pas à l'apparente simplicité du pitch (une amitié brisée du jour au lendemain). Le film de Martin McDonagh propose une œuvre puissante et noire sur la bêtise humaine et la vanité de...
