Dead Man’s Money
There is a lot of skullduggery and plotting in Dead Man’s Money, which is director Paul Kennedy’s wonderful reworking of Shakespeare’s Macbeth set in Kenny’s Bar, somewhere in Northern Ireland. The dastardly deeds are set in motion when Young Henry (Ciarán McMenamin) and his wife Pauline (Judith Roddy) who run the pub, discover that Young Henry’s uncle, Old Henry has fallen for Widow Tweed. They worry their inheritance earned over years running the old man’s bar will now go to the Widow, reputedly a gold digger. After all, she has seen off three husbands! Enter the chauffeur, ex-IRA tough-guy, and over a drink or two or three, they plot her fate. This totally engaging black comedy (Coen brothers-style) captures the mood and spirit of Ireland. Shakespeare would smile. Ireland 2024 (82 minutes)
