This is the story of two life-long friends and the sudden breaking of that friendship over boredom, sameness and melancholy over the years. With the Irish Civil War as a backdrop, and one man cutting off his fiddler's fingers over another man's plain life, the movie keeps on going steadily towards a morose conclusion. There's some absurdist humor in it, but there's also the dreamless and odd familiarity of dullness that engulfs the entire lonely little island and its inhabitants. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson star.

Mistakes

Factual error: ***SPOILER ALERT*** When Padraic sets Colm's house on fire, he ignites the fires using a Zippo lighter, which would not be produced until 1933, ten years after the film is set.
