From \u201cNomadland\u201d to \u201cBirdman,\u201d Searchlight Pictures always finds itself in the thick of the awards race, and the indie studio may have just secured itself another ticket to the Oscars with \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin.\u201d The darkly comic fable from Martin McDonagh had a sensational debut on Monday at the Venice Film Festival, where it earned a 13-minute standing ovation. That is the longest and loudest reception for any movie to debut on the Lido this season, at least based on the ever so slightly unscientific applause meter.<\/p>\n

McDonagh and stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Kerry Condon hugged each other throughout the ovation and walked down from the mezzanine to the orchestra. To be fair, the clapping may have been unfairly supersized. That’s because Farrell broke with tradition by wading into the crowd to take selfies with fans and sign autographs, which only made the cheering grow louder and more sustained. At one point, actress and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, McDonagh’s partner, leaned over her chair and kissed her boyfriend as he basked in the adulation. The love for \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin\u201d was so intense, with the crowd leaping to its feet with such passion, that the film’s big moment started to bleed into the red carpet debut of Olivia Wilde’s psychological thriller \u201cDon’t Worry Darling.\u201d Ushers at Venice had to scurry about trying to get audience members to leave the theater so the next movie premiere could start.<\/p>\n

Not only does \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin\u201d seem like a sure-fire best picture candidate, but Farrell could land the first best actor nomination of his career, and Gleeson and Condon may be strong supporting actor and actress candidates. The film tells the off-beat story of two best buddies (Farrell and Gleeson) who abruptly end their friendship, a dissolution that has a seismic impact on the rural community in which they live.<\/p>\n
