Adam & Paul: Film Screening

Friends since they were small boys, Adam and Paul – and we
never learn which is which – have withered into two hapless,
desperate Dublin junkies, tied together by habit and necessity.
A stylized, downbeat comedy, the film follows the pair through a
single day, which, like every other, is entirely devoted to the
business of scrounging and robbing money for drugs. The
difference today is that Adam and Paul – already near rock
bottom – have finally run out of luck, credit and friends.
Directed by one of Ireland’s leading Film Directors, Lenny
Abrahamson; Cast includes Tom Murphy, Mark O’Halloran,
Gavin Dowdall, Luke Keeler Louise Lewis. Two decades on,
from when it was made, Adam & Paul’s stature continues to
grow. In a major Irish Independent poll of critics and film
industry figures last year, (2023) it was voted second best
Irish film ever made.
