€5 – €8
Author, playwright and socialite Edna O’Brien reflects upon her life and career with astounding candidacy in Sinéad O’Shea’s documentary. Defying Ireland’s patriarchal, religious constraints with her sexually frank debut novel, The Country Girls, she became a literary sensation. Vilified in Ireland and escaping an abusive husband, O’Brien was empowered and prolific, a taboo breaker who made a fortune and lost one.
