I just love how that story, I love John B. Keane as a writer.
The Barrel Makers is one of my favourite books of all time.
I just love how he like focused on Ireland in that time, 1930s, and also the way it deals with like outside figures within this close-knit.
But this one has Javier Bardem in the Max Caddy role.
Amy Adams and Patrick Watson are also in it as the couple who represented him.
Max Caddy, obviously, as we know, gets out of jail and he's looking for retribution against them.
It just reminds me of the whole Apple doing Presumed Innocent series about two years ago with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Like, we have great adaptations of this.
He started a web series when he was 16 years old where he was making short films that then kind of turned into Backrooms, the film we get today.
So basically the premise is the Backroom is an image that started, as you said, on 4chan of these liminal spaces that are like old abandoned office buildings or like even a road can be like a Backroom.
But basically in this film, we have Renata Rainsville, who was in Sentimental Value,
Chitwa Ejiofor, who plays Clark, who's having a terrible time, personal, professional life.
He owns a furniture shop that's failing and he finds a portal into the back rooms from the downstairs of his furniture store.
So there's all these different like twists and turns.
