To celebrate (slightly belatedly) St Patrick’s Day we’re showing this highly acclaimed Edna O’Brien documentary, the Irish writer whose controversial first novel was banned, and even burnt, in Ireland. This biopic uses archive footage, and excerpts from O’Brien’s journals read by actress Jessie Buckley, to tell her story.
