Cillian Murphy is intense in Small Things Like These role: The Peaky Blinders and Oppenheimer star plays the lead role in the moving new film 🎬
Small Things Like These, is a Tim Mielants' upcoming adaptation of Claire Keegan's best-selling novel about Catholic corruption in small-town Ireland. In the film, Murphy — given a rare opportunity to work in his natural Irish brogue — plays Bill Furlong, a father whose repressed trauma surfaces when he discovers disturbing secrets being kept by his local convent. And you can check out the first trailer for the drama 🎭
It is 1985, in an Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, faces into his busiest season. As he does the rounds, he feels the past rising up to meet him - and encounters the complicit silences of a people controlled by the Church.
Inspired by the real history of the Magdalene Laundries, a set of workhouses and asylums used by the Catholic Church to physically and mentally abuse so-called "fallen women", it's clear to see from this first look at Small Things Like These alone that Murphy is operating in a register that's a far cry from Oppenheimer here.
Based on Claire Keegan's unforgettable story of hope, quiet heroism and tenderness, Cillian Murphy delivers a stunning performance in SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE, in cinemas November 1st.

An innovative audio cassette magazine established by #BillFurlong in 1973 for publishing curators’ interviews, sound performances and sound art. Furlong chose the cassette format because it is easy to post but he also considered it to be a “sculptural object” in itself. (While the Artists Chatted, He Taped, @nytimes 28 April 20
