Children fashion designer Christine (Eva Green) fights complicated mental health issues after a deadly accident she was responsible for, but never got convicted of, because it happened somewhere else – in a sweatshop in the Philippines. This is of course a wild guess during the first 30 minutes of the film’s runtime, because Christine has no recollection of that particular event, and we build the bigger puzzle along the road that finally does answer all questions except the one about the legal ramifications. She is just presented as someone suffering from a number of symptoms beginning with a (selective) memory loss, quivering and hallucinations to something that makes her wear a Cpap mask at night. With her career on hold, and not much she can analyse without the material to talk about, Christine is a wreck and there is no way denying it. Between different manifestations of the malaise, she...

More details are coming in for Lorcan Finnegan's Without Name. Releasing today, the film's official trailer and film poster are hosted here. Described as a "delirious time lost in the woods (Kurland, Bloody Disgusting)," the film's latest promotional material bends the mind. In the story, several surveyors are working in a local, Irish wood. But, something supernatural this way creeps. The trailer for Without Name is equally strange and distorted. A preview of the film's Video-on-demand launch is hosted here. In the trailer, Eric (Alan McKenna) narrates the clip. He talks of a place, that he cannot describe. He calls it a "door" and a "frequency," but these words do not describe this place accurately. Then, events take a trip into madness. This award winning film will show on most Video-on-demand platforms, today. Without Name has already won “Best Feature,” “Best Director (Lorcan Finnegan),” “Best Editor (Tony Cranstoun)” and...

Edinburgh International Film Festival
EDINBURGH — The bodies keep piling up and so do the laughs in Irish director Ian Fitzgibbon’s clever and very funny black farce “A Film With Me In It.” With an attitude towards sudden death as droll as in the best Ealing Studios comedies, the film lampoons the fevered imagination of screenwriters in its tale of two would-be filmmakers who must deal with one calamity after another in the confines of a basement apartment.
Featuring standout comic performances by Mark Doherty, who wrote the script, and Dylan Moran, the picture’s bracingly dark sense of humor and adherence to its own perverse logic will please audiences that enjoyed such comedies as “Withnail and I” and “A Fish Called Wanda.”
Doherty plays Mark, a sad-sack actor whose chance of landing even the bit part of “Onlooker” in his latest audition is remote. Moran is his best friend Pierce, a wastrel who spends his time at the pub and his money on the horses as he dreams up hackneyed screenplays.
Mark lives with his quadriplegic brother David David O’Doherty), pretty girlfriend Sally (Amy Huberman) and her indolent pet dog Jersey. Their place is filled with broken things such as window sashes and lighting fixtures that landlord Jack (Kevin Allen) refuses to fix until the rent is paid.
Sally storms out after discovering that Mark hasn’t paid the rent in three months. He senses things may get worse when a shelving unit collapses and kills her dog. Then when a heavy chandelier crashes down from the ceiling with even more unpleasant results, he’s sure of it.
Doherty’s script is sly and increasingly hilarious as nitwits Mark and Pierce deal with an escalating number of dead people and conspire to dream up madly unreasonable explanations they think might sound plausible to the police.
Moran gets the slightly fractured speech borne of an alcohol soaked brain exactly right while Doherty captures Marks bewilderment perfectly. Director Fitzgibbon hits all the right notes with comic finesse as the film heads towards its pleasingly delirious conclusion.
Production: Parallel Films in association with the Irish Film Board. Cast: Dylan Moran, Mark Doherty, Amy Huberman, Aisling O’Sullivan, Kevin Allen, David O’Doherty. Director: Ian Fitzgibbon. Screenwriter: Mark Doherty. Producers: Alan Moloney, Susan Mullen. Executive Producer: Mary Callery. Director of Photography: Seamus Deasy. Production Designer: Eleanor Wood. Music: Denis Woods. Costume Designer: Maeve Paterson. Editor: Tony Cranstoun. Sales Agent: Cinetic Media. No MPAA rating, 88 minutes.
