The Forgiven

David (Fiennes), a drunken British surgeon, and his American author wife Jo (Chastain, Oscar winner, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, SFF 2021) are on the brink of separation. Still, they decide to attend an opulent party in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains hosted by gay couple Richard (Matt Smith, The Crown) and Dally (Caleb Landry Jones, Nitram). En route, David runs over a boy selling fossils by the roadside. Callously, David puts the body into his car, and drives on. Next day, the boy’s father arrives, demanding David accompany him to his son’s funeral in a distant village. But the party must go on... In ways only he can, McDonagh skewers the privileged while juxtaposing the lives of ordinary people in a neo-colonial society.
