After The Skull of Connemara, Pol López once again delves into McDonagh’s universe in this hilarious and terrifying dark comedy.
Martin McDonagh, with his trademark dark, macabre, and absurd humour, takes us this time to a run-down motel in a small town in deep America. Carmichael is a man obsessed for twenty-seven years with finding the hand that was cut off when he was a child. He’s arranged to meet a young, third-rate couple of dealers who claim to have his mummified hand to sell. The hotel’s eccentric receptionist gets involved, and everything spirals out of control. Just when it seems like things couldn’t get worse — they do.
