Bleak and brutally honest, Lodge Kerrigan's brilliant drama chronicles the daily rituals of a disturbed man who feels responsible for the abduction of his daughter. Keane is an intense character study of a man whose life has been destroyed by a tragic event, leaving him mentally ill.
Keane spends his days wandering around New York’s Port Authority searching for his 7-year-old girl, obsessively retracing his steps, consumed by guilt and self-loathing. Damian Lewis gives the performance of a lifetime, perfectly capturing Keane’s desperation. Director Kerrigan strips his characters clean of sentimentality, and uses his camera as an extension of Keane's body, to reinforce his search for truth. Jittery hand-held camera work takes us right alongside Keane on his endless walkabouts: become part of the experience - if you dare participate. Unshakably harrowing and deeply moving, this is a remarkable portrait of a wounded man.
Introduced by the local author of bestseller The Shock of the Fall, Nathan Flier. Presented by Bristol Health Partners.
