Blue Road - The Edna O’Brien Story

Sinéad O’Shea / Irland, United Kingdom / 2024 / 99 min

At age 93, iconic Irish writer Edna O’Brien reflects on her extraordinary life: infamous London parties, a brand of feminism that stirred controversy, and a free-spirited lifestyle that drew both praise and condemnation. Shunned by the Church but celebrated by readers worldwide, she broke taboos and revolutionized Irish literature with radical honesty. Through diary entries, archival footage, and a final interview, this film becomes her personal farewell. An intimate portrait of a woman who fearlessly fought for freedom, literature, and her own voice.
