We discuss The Banshees of Inisherin and See How They Run, two films that raise the question of the importance of art over lives lived.
03:28 The Banshees of Inisherin, playing in theaters, finds equal parts comedy, tragedy, and emotional resonance in the dissolution of a friendship.
24:49 See How They Run, streaming on HBO Max, is a tight parcel of a self-aware whodunit that’s carried by its cast.
