Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story is a candid portrait of one of the world’s greatest and most charismatic writers, Irish author Edna O’Brien.
Her books were banned and burned in her native Ireland. In London and New York, she had illicit love affairs, hosted star-studded parties, and made and lost a fortune.
In her final year, aged 93, she shares her diaries and gives one last interview to filmmaker Sinéad O'Shea about her extraordinary life. Her diaries are read aloud by Oscar nominated actress Jessie Buckley.
Blue Road is as candid, dark, and enchanting as O’Brien’s wonderful novels.
“One of Ireland’s most important novelists and a woman of fierce intelligence and bravery is celebrated in Sinéad O’Shea’s thoroughly enjoyable documentary” The Guardian
