King Frankie” – a slick, smiley, fast talking, amoral, greedy entrepreneur, who is very well-liked, even though he seems to owe money to everyone.

  • 95 minutes, Ireland 2024, Cert:15A

Premiered at the 2024 Dublin International Film Festival to critical acclaim, King Frankie tells the redemption story of taxi driver Frankie Burke.

Following the death of his father, the past catches up with Frankie and he is sent on a trip down memory lane, 10 years back, to a time when he was “King Frankie” – a slick, smiley, fast talking, amoral, greedy entrepreneur, who is very well-liked, even though he seems to owe money to everyone. King Frankie throws an expensive birthday party for his eight-year-old daughter, and we quickly get the notion that this is the day his life went south.
