INTERMISSION, starring Shirley Henderson, Kelly Macdonald, Colm Meaney, Cillian Murphy and Colin Farrell, is a raucous story of the interweaving lives and loves of small-town delinquents, shady cops, pretty good girls and very (very) bad boys. With Irish guts and grit,... See more lives collide, preconceptions shatter and romance is tested to the extreme.
An ill-timed and poorly executed break-up sets off a chain of events affecting everyone in town. There’s the hapless romantic and his sex-starved best friend, the hotshot detective and the crook he’s after, a young girl on the rebound with an older married man (not to mention his deserted wife), an ambitious TV producer, abandoned fiancée, preteen trouble-maker — all unaware of how their choices are profoundly intertwined.
Add a botched robbery, some brown sauce, a woman’s moustache, flying rocks and dancing single seniors and you have Intermission.
