Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story

No wallflower, literary sensation Edna O’Brien wrote sexually explicit novels that enthralled readers for decades, simultaneously inspiring generations of writers while infuriating power brokers, who banned her books. Ignoring prevailing norms of puritan propriety, O’Brien was renowned for her wild parties, lavish lifestyle, passionate affairs, and most notably, her radiant voice. A trailblazer who bucked convention until her passing in 2024, O’Brien was the ultimate maverick. Her life, both the bitter and the sweet, is captured in this beautifully compiled film. Director Sinéad O’Shea blends diary entries (read by Jessie Buckley) and footage of O’Brien with luminaries such as Paul McCartney, Sean Connery, and Jane Fonda, as well as exclusive late-life interviews with the scribe herself. Frank and funny, this documentary will lift your spirits and return you to O’Brien’s wondrous writing.
