Directed by Fintan Connolly (Trouble With Sex; Flick) and co-written with Fiona Bergin, Barber stars Aidan Gillen as a
Dublin private investigator hired to locate the missing granddaughter of a
wealthy woman. This leads him down a dark path as he uncovers more than he
bargained for.
The film also stars Aisling Kearns, Gary Lydon, Helen Behan, Deirdre Donnelly, Liam Carney,
Camille O’Sullivan, Irma Mali, Nick Dunning
and Steve Wall.
"The excitement of shooting Barber on and off the streets of
Dublin after being locked down for months was immense," says Gillen.
"Great to get back to doing what you do (safely of course) with other
actors and filmmakers who are of a similar mind was a total buzz. Also
capturing the feeling and look and particular energy there is on the
streets right now was an opportunity I'm glad we took. I'm not sure how
many modern Dublin noirs there are, but it was unvisited territory for me
at least."
Barber is in UK/ROI cinemas from April 14th.
