With his genius level IQ and resentful middle class values, Charlie Casanova is a sociopath, exactly how far he’s willing to go, nobody is sure, especially his best friends and wife who he drags along with him. Making his decisions on the turn of a card, he absolves himself of any and all moral responsibility, acting in the same way as capricious gods always have.
Spinning through a weekend at a hotel and its effects, this movie is by turns terrifying and funny, as Charlie’s mania and anger at society drowns out all other voices.
There have been numerous sociopaths on film, but few are as fully realised as Charlie, a possessed and truly driven lead performance from Emmet Scanlan.
Provocative, intense and shocking, this movie is destined to become a true classic and yet another example of the strength of Irish cinema.
