Watched The Banshees of Inisherin on the plane ride to LA.
Sooooooo good. It's easy to forget how good an actor Colin Farrell is, but damn if him and Brendan Gleeson don't just complement each other so perfectly in this film. Barry Keoghan plays a brilliant role in this as well.
Was a long flight and I'm still processing it (it's a bit of an ordeal of a film) but it seems to be about the futility of conflict and the often pointless causes of it (it's set against the Irish civil war in the 1920s), but also about whether it's important to suffer for your art and sacrificing others to achieve your aims.
If you're feeling maudlin or just in the mood for something that explores deep human emotion, I highly recommend it.
