Directed by Dermot Malone and starring Peter Coonan, Olivia Caffrey, Ruairi O’Connor, Conor MacNeill, and Rejjie Snow, *King Frankie* is a 95-minute Irish drama slated for release on Friday, October 11th, 2024. The film centers on Frankie (Coonan), a taxi driver and small business owner driven by an insatiable ambition for financial success. His relentless pursuit of wealth, however, leads him down a path fraught with consequence.
On the day of his father’s funeral, a traumatic event from ten years prior resurfaces, forcing Frankie to confront the weight of his past actions. This pivotal moment initiates a deeply personal journey of reckoning, forgiveness, and ultimately, redemption. The narrative explores the complexities of the promises we make – both to ourselves and to others – and the immense strength required to uphold them.
Described by the filmmakers as a “Celtic Tiger tale you’ve never seen before,” *King Frankie* promises a raw and emotionally resonant exploration of ambition, consequence, and the enduring power of self-forgiveness. The film’s unique perspective on the era’s economic boom offers a fresh and compelling narrative within the Irish cinematic landscape.
