KING FRANKIE Director: DERMOT MALONE 94 mins, Ireland, 2024, Digital Please enable cookies if you want to view this trailer Book cinema tickets Watch on Watch on IFI Home Following the death of his father, Frankie Burke (Peter Coonan), a kindly taxi driver living a quiet life in a Dublin suburb, is forced to confront the ghosts of his past when an unexpected stranger arrives at his door. Ten years earlier, Frankie was living a wildly extravagant life, losing money as quickly as he could make it, oblivious to the concerns of family and friends, until matters came to a tragic head and his world came tumbling down. Dermot Malone’s ultimately hopeful parable about greed, guilt, and redemption, is served well by the ever-versatile Peter Coonan who conjures the many faces of Frankie – from repugnant to repentant – with ease. The opening night screening at 18.20 will be followed by a Q&A with Peter Coonan and director Dermot Malone, hosted by Kieron J. Walsh.
