From ‘Banshees of Inisherin’ to ‘The Fabelmans,’ How Screenwriters Wrestled With Loss
16.02.2023 - 19:37 / variety.com
Malina Saval Associate Editor, Features From the sharp sting of platonic rejection in “The Banshees of Inisherin,” to suicide and self-destruction in “Tár,” to death on a sinking cruise ship in “Triangle of Sadness,” grief and loss are a collective current running throughout this season’s Oscar contenders in the screenplay category. Inconsolable loss plays out with disastrous, violent consequence in “Banshees,” Martin McDonagh’s crushing excavation of friendship torn asunder on a remote island off the coast of Ireland in the early 1920s.

On the surface, Pádraic is a simple man — unmarried, childless, no remarkable talents of which to speak. But an emotional storm brews beneath that surface. Pádraic is gutted, broken. Isolated and without much of anything else to tether him, Pádraic’s menagerie of animals — goats, cows, but mainly donkey Jenny — remain his only solace. The scene, conveying the bond between mankind and our pets, is
