Six Shooter

Martin McDonagh's first film, and the clearest place to see where the savage, grief-soaked comedy of In Bruges and The Banshees of Inisherin began. Brendan Gleeson plays a newly widowed man sharing a train carriage home with a foul-mouthed young stranger, played by Rúaidhrí Conroy, and the journey turns violent fast. It won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short. At 27 minutes it is long for a short, and it carries a 15 certificate for its profanity and violence, so it suits older viewers rather than a mixed room.
