“Black Flies,” the Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan film about emergency medical first responders, features splattered brains, dead dogs, an addict giving birth with a needle dangling from her arm and a litany of other horrors.
Splattered brains, dead dogs, an addict giving birth with a needle dangling from her arm — these and a litany of other horrors confronted Penn and Sheridan, who play veteran and rookie paramedics, respectively, at the New York Fire Department. Interestingly enough, the black-tie screening at the Grand Palais enjoyed the dose of reality, giving the film a five-minute standing ovation.
“Black Flies” stars Sheridan as Ollie Cross, a young paramedic in New York City who is mentored by Penn’s more-experienced EMT. The two are forced to face extreme violence during their shifts, from blood-soaked gunshot wounds to disturbing scenes of domestic violence and life-threatening pregnancies, forcing Ollie to confront his beliefs about life and death.
The film’s many spectacles paid off in a somber final card displayed during credits — that suicides among the emergency responder community eclipse patient deaths in some areas.
