- About me
- Starring Malcolm McDowell now guest starring in NBC's Heroes, HBO's Entourage, and the current horror remake of Halloween
Also starring Max Beesley of the BBC America hit Hotel Babylon and former Miss Ireland Olivia Tracey
Featuring music from Flogging Molly and
Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles
Based on a successful Irish play by acclaimed writer Joseph O’Connor, and directed by Tamar Simon Hoffs, Red Roses and Petrol is a darkly comedic drama and a tour-de-force showcase for Malcolm McDowell as Enda Doyle, a university librarian, poet, and rascal who is the flawed patriarch of a dysfunctional family struggling to come to terms with his death and with one another. Unfolding amidst a haze of cigarette smoke and uneaten food, as his family gathers in Dublin for his wake, the film explores the emotional dynamics of familial relationships with sharp humor and surprising turns.
