ONE NIGHT ONLY is a feel-good comedy set in 1984 in a small-town Irish cinema during one eventful Friday night 8pm screening from hell. The film follows beleaguered cinema owner Earl Clancy as he faces a cascading series of disasters, any one of which could sink him. Drawing from writer/director David Gleeson’s own experience growing up in a family of cinema owners, ONE NIGHT ONLY is a love letter to a peculiarly Irish cinema experience, a film that will break your heart then mend it all over again.
ONE NIGHT ONLY stars Colin Morgan (Merlin, The Boy Who Never Was), Calam Lynch (Bridgerton. Sweet Pea), Niamh Cusack (In the Land of Saints & Sinners, We Live in Time) and India Mullen (Normal People, Say Nothing).
… and starring Richard Gere in Breathless – the film within the film!
