EVERY MOON IS ATROCIOUS tears through the cities and battlegrounds of western civilisation — Dublin, London, Paris, and Jerusalem — from Blake to Rimbaud to the Irish poet Niall McDevitt, whose death made this film necessary. Olwen Fouéré speaks his poetry over images of his absence. Deji Adenuga carries his body through the same territories. Voice and body never meet. Empires end. War is here.
