Posted: 14th November 2019
With the 64th Cork Film Festival underway and now in its second week, Screen Ireland-supported project The Last Right will receive its World Premiere this Thursday 14th of November.
Writen and directed by up and coming filmmaker Aoife Crehan, the film follows New York-based Daniel Murphy (Michiel Huisman) who is on the flight home to Ireland for his mum's funeral when the elderly passenger sitting beside him dies, and he ends up being tasked with bringing the body of someone he barely knows home for burial with his family.
Daniel is persuaded to take on the challenge of getting an environmentally friendly cardboard coffin from his family home in Clonakilty to Rathlin Island by his autistic younger brother Louis (Samuel Bottomley) and Mary (Niamh Algar), a flighty young mortician with her own agenda
However, en route from West Cork to Rathlin Island, both romance and family secrets emerge to complicate the trip.
Produced by Paul Donovan for Deadpan Pictures and Pippa Cross for CrossDay Productions, The Last Right also stars Colm Meaney and Brian Cox.
It premieres at the 64th Cork Film Festival on Thursday, 14th of November at the Everyman Theatre at 8.45pm.
