Red Roses and Petrol on Video - 2003

Amid a haze of cigarette smoke and uneaten food, the family of Enda Doyle (Malcolm McDowell - A Clockwork Orange, NBC's Heroes) gathers in Dublin for his wake. A university librarian, poet, and rascal, Doyle has left behind a trail of unresolved issues, a dysfunctional family, and a disturbing mystery. A cache of self-recorded video diaries sheds light on who he really was and the secrets that he was never able to share. Based upon the acclaimed play by Irish author Joseph O'Connor, Red Roses and Petrol explores the complex dynamics of family relations with sharp humor and surprising turns, taking us on an intense emotional journey into the depths of what is true and what is love. You're invited to the rowdiest Irish wake of the year! Also starring Max Beesley (BBC's Hotel Babylon), Susan Lynch (Waking Ned Devine), and formed Mixx Ireland Olivia Tracey, with soundtrack songs by Flogging Molly and Susanna Hoffs (the Bangles).
