THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI Closing Night Gala - BFI London Film Festival 2017
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is the 2017 BFI London Film Festival Closing Night Gala. We were joined on the red carpet by director, Martin McDonagh and cast members: Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell and Peter Dinklage.
Martin McDonagh's follow-up to Seven Psychopaths is a characteristically pitch-black comedic drama featuring a blistering central performance from Frances McDormand. It's been seven months since her daughter was murdered and foul-mouthed, tough-as-nails Mildred Hayes (McDormand) is fed up. Fuelled by grief and outraged that the investigation has gone quiet, she provokes the local police department with a series of messages plastered on three disused billboards outside her home town of Ebbing, Missouri. So begins a rapidly escalating and very public feud between Mildred and venerated community leader and family man, Chief Willoughby (Woody Harrelson).
