Red Roses and Petrol (2003) follows the tumultuous reunion of a troubled Irish family after the passing of their father, Enda Doyle. In the smoky, tense atmosphere of Dublin, the Doyle family gathers for the wake, only to uncover a web of unresolved conflicts and a perplexing enigma. Adapted from Joseph O’Connor's acclaimed Irish play, this darkly comedic drama stars Malcolm McDowell as Enda, a complex figure who was a university librarian, poet, and a charismatic rogue. The family, grappling with Enda's death and their own personal demons, includes his distraught widow Moya, sharp-tongued daughter Medbh, and the strong-willed older sister Catherine, who arrives from New York with her charming but awkward boyfriend, Tom Ivers. As they sift through Enda's belongings, they find a collection of self-recorded video diaries that hint at hidden truths about his life. The family's dynamics are further complicated by the arrival of the black sheep, Johnny, whose bitter revelations push the family to the brink of chaos. The film delves into the intricate emotional landscape of family relationships, blending sharp humor with unexpected twists, and takes viewers on a profound journey into the heart of truth and love. The soundtrack features music from Flogging Molly and Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles.
