:

This movie about the Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett is just as broken, daunting, and humorous as his plays. Through a conversation with himself reminiscent of Godot, Beckett (played by Gabriel Byrne) revisits moments from his past in an attempt to understand and maybe even find forgiveness for his guilt. His time in Paris working for his idol James Joyce (played by Aidan Gillen), his involvement with Joyce’s daughter who suffered from mental illness, his participation in the French resistance, and his two significant loves offer intriguing insights into Beckett’s astute perspective on life.
