◆ Trending: Five Barry Keoghan films to watch after you’ve seen Saltburn
If you’re just discovering the brilliance of Barry Keoghan after his turn in Saltburn, here are five of his other films we recommend you watch.
The Killing Of A Sacred Deer: This writer’s favourite with Keoghan is Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2017 dystopian horror mystery starring Colin Farrell and Alicia Silverstone. Keoghan stars as loner
Martin who goes in search of revenge after his Dad dies on the operating table. However, revenge comes sooner than he expects in a world that forces people to murder a member of their own family if they are to blame for the death of someone else’s family member - even if it was accidental.
Dunkirk: Probably the film that really put Keoghan on the map was Christopher Nolan’s epic war film, nominated for eight Oscars. The young Irishman took on one of the film’s key roles in his portrayal of George Mills, a young soldier.
The Shadow Of Violence: Keoghan plays the role of Dympna and turns bleach blond in a film that focuses on one man’s struggle with divided loyalties as his world grows claustrophobic, violent and hyper-masculine.
The Banshees Of Inisherin: Arguably the best film Keoghan has been part of so far, Martin Mcdonagh’s black comedy about two friends who fall out catastrophically on the Irish island of Inisherin. While the 31-year-old plays neither of the main character, he is excellent as the bizarre yet empathetic young man Dominic.
The Batman: He played The Joker but, blink and you’ll miss him, however, his segment became one of the biggest talking points. With Batman forced to visit Arkham Asylum is search of The Riddler, he comes face to face with arch nemesis - The Joker.
