The Cripple of Inishmaan

‘Ireland mustn’t be such a bad place so, if the Yanks want to come to Ireland to do their filming.’

On the tiny island of Inishmaan in 1934, where lasses break eggs on priests, sailors peg bricks at cows and the village gossip trades news about sheep with no ears for half a dozen eggs, Billy Clavan, a disabled orphan living with his adopted aunts, dreams of an escape.When a Hollywood film crew come to nearby Inishmore to film ‘The Man of Aran,’ he sees his opportunity. But only if Babbybobby will row him across.

A breathlessly funny and heartrendingly dark comedy from the Oscar-winning writer of ‘In Bruges’, ‘Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri’ and ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’
