Ep 47: 2007 - Cassandra’s Dream *Discussion*

Back on the retrospective with Woody returning to his darker themes for another crime drama - lets dig into it!

 

 With Cassandra’s Dream (2017) we are yet again set in the streets of London, here we have two brothers, Ian Blaine (Ewan McGregor) and Terry Blaine (Colin Farrell), that find themselves trapped in a downward spiral of financial desperation and personal struggles.

Ian, a restaurateur struggling to keep his business afloat, desperately seeks funds to secure a new life with his love, Angela (Hayley Atwell). Meanwhile, Terry, a compulsive gambler grappling with debt and addiction, turns to Ian for help, leading to a fateful encounter with a wealthy uncle. This uncle, Howard (Tom Wilkinson), offers them a life-changing deal: a substantial sum of money in exchange for a seemingly insignificant task.

However, as the brothers delve deeper into the details of the task, they realize that they have unwittingly become tangled in a web of moral ambiguity and potential consequences.
