“This is a hilarious feel-good movie about terrible people. Signe and Thomas are in an unhealthy competitive relationship that takes a vicious turn when Thomas suddenly breaks through as a contemporary artist. In response, Signe makes a desperate attempt to regain her status by creating a new persona hell-bent of attracting attention and sympathy.”
Introduced by Prof Victor Merriman. Victor Merriman is Professor of Critical Performance Studies at Edge Hill University. He is an expert in Irish drama and the role of public works reflecting contemporary life.
