Summary/Abstract: Adhering to Roland Barthes’ thesis that watching a film is an entirely projective activity and a key to the darkest forces in the viewer, I decided to put together the puzzle of melancholy and mourning in the film “The Banshees of Inisherin” by the director and screenwriter Martin McDonough. This surreal picture that emerged is a collection of pieces from the Irish filmmaker’s previous four films, as well as an update of his own dramaturgical canon, which shape his specific language and culture of communication.
