Posted: 6th December 2019
Winner of the Audience Award at the Cork Film Festival this year, Aoife Crehan's The Last Right is coming to Irish audiences on Friday, 6 December.
Two brothers and a woman they’ve just met journey across the island of Ireland to bury a stranger.
New York-based Daniel Murphy wakes on a flight home to Ireland for his Mum’s funeral to find the elderly passenger has died in the next seat. To his surprise the lonely Padraig had just listed him as his next of kin. In a bid to persuade his autistic brother Louis to return to New York with him, Daniel agrees to drive Padraig’s remains across the length of Ireland, from Cork to Rathlin Island, to be buried with his brother. Hitching a ride in the passenger seat is the funeral home temp Mary, who is on a mission to correct a drunken mistake. Meanwhile, the police realise Daniel has no business driving off with Padraig’s body, and Daniel, Mary and Louis find themselves the focus of a nationwide manhunt.
Starring Michiel Huisman (Game of Thrones), Niamh Algar (The Virtues) and newcomer Samuel Bottomley, and a supporting cast including Brian Cox (Succession), Colm Meaney (Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa) and Jim Norton (Father Ted), The Last Right is the feature film debut from writer/director Aoife Crehan and was shot on location in Cork.
Produced by Paul Donovan for Deadpan Pictures, Pippa Cross for CrossDay Productions and Casey Herbert for Moonlight Bay Films, with financing by Screen Ireland, eOne, Northern Ireland Screen and Lipsync.
With its uniquely Irish sense of humour, The Last Right is a heart-warming and bittersweet comedy drama about family and finding home. In cinemas Friday, 6th December.
