KING FRANKIE Director: DERMOT MALONE 94 mins, Ireland, 2024, Digital Book cinema tickets 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. Director: DERMOT MALONE 94 mins, Ireland, 2024, Digital
