‘Wild Horse Nine’ filmmaker Martin McDonagh

Filmmaker and playwright Martin McDonagh talks about his new movie, Wild Horse Nine. It’s a dark comedy about two CIA agents (Sam Rockwell, John Malkovitch) who travel to Easter Island before the 1973 coup d’etat in Chile. McDonagh also wrote and directed The Banshees of Inisherin, In Bruges, and Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri. He spoke with Terry Gross about the themes across his work – male friendship, guilt, regret, redemption, and mortality.
