GLUE is the first feature-length film by Irish artist Oisín Byrne, with artist and collaborator Gary Farrelly.
About
Told through manic and confessional monologues and dialogues, Gary – a cross-dressing narcoleptic – delivers a comic insight into our shattered subjectivity.As Gary comes off the mood-enhancing drugs used to treat his narcolepsy, time and identity are dislocated between places real and imagined: Gary's flat in Brussels, a disintegrating Irish country house, the 'floating train' in Wuppertal, Gary's own grave, and a maternity ward. Gary himself is linguistically pyrotechnic, quick-witted, and provocative, but it is the hesitations, slow-time and the intimate space of filmmaking that produce a portrait which is both tender and brutally touching.
