“An eye for an eye,” Mahatma Gandhi once famously said, “will only make the whole world blind.” No argument, yet revenge – perhaps the most supercharged of emotions – is clearly a major source of many a movie screenplay. This week Dan Webster, Mary Pat Treuthart and Nathan Weinbender discuss a pair of movies that explore the causes and effects of revenge. One, titled “The Banshees of Inisherin,” comes to us courtesy of the Irish filmmaker Martin McDonagh, while the other, titled “Triangle of Sadness,” is a product of the Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund.
