Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Barry Keoghan filmed this right before 'Dunkirk' — his 'Girl in Home Video' scene was shot in a single afternoon. The directors found him busking in Dublin.
Released in 2016, this is essentially a horror film about Irish post-crash masculinity — the 'Trading' code reads like a satire of Celtic Tiger self-help books.
