World Wide Motion Pictures Presents Red Roses and Petrol   ~+~   Starring Malcolm McDowell now guest starring in NBC's Heroes, HBO's Entourage, and the recently released horror remake of Halloween. Also starring Max Beesley of Hotel Babylon and former Miss Ireland Olivia Tracey Featuring music from Flogging Molly and Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles   Based on a successful Irish play by acclaimed writer Joseph O’Connor, and directed by Tamar Simon Hoffs, Red Roses and Petrol is a darkly comedic drama and a tour-de-force showcase for Malcolm McDowell as Enda Doyle, a university librarian, poet, and rascal who is the flawed patriarch of a dysfunctional family struggling to come to terms with his death and with one another. Unfolding amidst a haze of cigarette smoke and uneaten food, as his family gathers in Dublin for his wake, the film explores the emotional dynamics of familial relationships with sharp humor and surprising turns. ~+~ Cast Malcolm McDowell - Enda Doyle Olivia Tracey - Moya Doyle Susan Lynch - Catherine Doyle Max Beesley - Johnny Doyle Greg Ellis - Tom Ivres Catherine Farrell - Helen Heather Juergensen - Medbh Doyle ~+~ Opening Soon in: New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, London and Dublin ~+~ What the Critics are Saying   "A volatile, powerful combination of laughter and emotions" - F.X.
