Film screening of Martin McDonagh's thriller 'Wild Horse Nine', starring John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell, with a final Reel Talk Afternoon discussion on 19 November.
Wild Horse Nine runs at Storyhouse Cinema from Friday 13 to Thursday 19 November, with screenings throughout the week. It's the new film from Martin McDonagh, who wrote and directed In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and *The Banshees of Inisherin.
The story is set shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup. CIA agents Chris and Lee are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ, and among the island's iconic statues the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies. At the same time, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students threatens to send the trip to this remote paradise sideways. It's rated 15 and runs about 117 minutes.
The cast is a big one: John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell lead, with Steve Buscemi, Mariana Di Girolamo, Ailin Salas, Tom Waits and Parker Posey. If you're a fan of McDonagh's previous work, you'll recognise the dark comedy and sharp dialogue he's known for, this time transposed to a very specific historical moment in Chile.
