The Quiet Man and Banshees of Inisherin: Lots in common. One big difference.

Martin McDonagh’s Banshees of Inisherin isn’t likely to inspire the kind of reverence and commercialism inspired by John Ford’s 1952 film The Quiet Man starring Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne. Banshees tourism is not likely to become a thing. One is a Rom Com with great passion. The other is a Black Comedy with grim passion.
