Six Shooter

I've been reading the plays of Martin McDonagh. The Beauty Queen of Leenane I found to be the most gripping. I also watched - and would invite you to watch - his Oscar-winning short film Six Shooter, available on YouTube. Relevant to our discussion of sociopaths, it sticks with the trademark McDonagh themes of human cruelty played for comedy and horrific violence also played for comedy.

  2. Having read/seen "The Lieutenant of Inishmore", "The Pillowman", and now "Six Shooter," I thought "The Pillowman" was the most interesting.
