The Banshees of Inisherin

The Banshees of Inisherin, is a 2022 black comedy written and directed by British-Irish playwright, Martin McDonagh. The film follows two lifelong friends (Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson) who find themselves at an impasse, when one abruptly ends their relationship. The predicament triggers alarming consequences for both.

The music is by famed Coen Brothers composer, Carter Burwell. He really has perfected the art of “unsentimental” music. Burwell moves beneath the story along with an ever-so-slight quirkiness to his melodies.

Walking Home Alone can be considered the main theme of The Banshees…
