Consider the setting – lovely scenery, dim lighting, silence, nothing to distract one from the flawed workings of one’s mind, as the sun, an orange coin on the horizon, sets majestically.” He said, “Inisherin is a fictional island, so I didn’t want it to be specifically one place. I wanted it to be more mythical,” per production notes.

With the breathtaking expanse of the Atlantic Ocean reaching out to the horizon beneath the fortress’ prehistoric walls, it’s little wonder visitors have been flocking here for millennia. Here, the film’s producers transformed a ramshackle hut into Colm’s tiny cottage, while the bay’s golden sands and steep cliffs bring atmosphere in abundance to some of the film’s most memorable scenes. With so much to offer from sea to summit, it’s little wonder that Achill captured the imagination of Banshees’ producers. Whether travelling by ferry or hopping on a plane, there’s never been a better time to discover why this unassuming corner of Ireland deserves its moment in the spotlight. At sea level, sheltered bays and sweeping sands abound across Achill’s 80 miles of shoreline, with five of the island’s best beaches awarded Blue Flag status. Set in 1923 during the final months of the Irish Civil War, the film examines the crumbling relationship between humble dairy farmer Pádraic (Farrell) and his best friend Colm (Gleeson).

The linkage of melody and carnality harkened back to early and middle Tolstoy, who employed musical forms as markers of sexual brooding (folk songs in Cossacks) ...

Fortunate because in the morning Father Sergius trims his hair and beard, dresses in the clothes of a peasant and leaves the hermitage. A hellish fire (have you guessed the name of the vengeful arsonist?) destroys Colm’s cottage, formerly a place of song and of love. He works in the owner’s kitchen garden, teaches the kids, and tends to the sick. And herein lies a transformation of the Tolstoyan theme of desire, perhaps even McDonagh’s polemical rejection of the ending of Tolstoy’s Father Sergius. In the course of this (failed) confession, the priest asks Colm if he is having “impure thoughts” about men, and Colm angrily turns the question around. In a follow-up scene, Colm takes off the remaining fingers of his left hand, forever parting with his own life as a fiddler. There are three main deaths in the film: the death of a village fool whose father, the island’s single constable, abuses him in multiple ways; the death of a beloved pet; and the death of an intimate friendship. In McDonagh’s morbidly exquisite film, not Tolstoy’s vague pro-Irish sentiment but rather Tolstoy’s embattled, intertwined spirits of desire and music—and the self-amputated finger of his Father Sergius—clamor for recognition. “I’m not the devil, but simply a sinful woman, who is lost—not figuratively but literally—(she laughed)—“frozen and begging for a shelter...” He pressed his face to the glass. He swiftly grabbed the chopped off piece of finger with the flap of his cassock and, pressing it to his hip, he went back inside through the door, and after pausing in front of the woman, he lowered his eyes and quietly asked: “What do you want?” She starts undressing, in part because her clothes are wet, in part because she is attempting to derail a saint in the making. Yet one of the greatest pleasures of reading Tolstoy’s life and art is that his views of desire became less dogmatic during his last decade.

Letting go of a relationship can be hard. If you're the kind of person who has rejection sensitivity or abandonment issues, letting go can be even more ...

After Colm and Pádraic escalate things beyond the point of no return, Colm tries to end it all with a few simple words and Pádraic tells him that he can't, that it's only the beginning. A large part of my own inability to let my friend go was because, like Pádraic, I couldn't understand what I had done to deserve the silent treatment. In the end, his continued bothering of Colm leads to real tragedies, including the death of Pádraic's beloved pet donkey, Jenny, and the loss of all of Colm's fingers on one hand. Of course, Pádraic doesn't think that his friend really means it, especially because Colm is now dedicating his time to writing tunes on the fiddle, but he learns the hard way that Colm was deadly serious. It's hard not to sympathize with Pádraic even if you've never had someone you loved suddenly decide that they want nothing to do with you, but I felt the experience resonate to my core. The two have been best friends for years, but Colm wants to end the friendship because he thinks that he's wasting what's left of his life listening to Pádraic yammer on about his pony.
