Cillian Murphy: ‘I hadn’t made a film in Ireland or an Irish story for a really long time’
The actor stars in an extraordinary new film set in Wexford. Telling this story of the Magdalene laundries has been a passion project, he tells Pavel Barter
Murphy is out of the desert and talking to me in the more hospitable surroundings of a hotel room in London, where he’s holding court on the eve of the release of Small Things Like These. When Furlong encounters the horrors of a Magdalene laundry, the church’s institution for unwed mothers, he feels compelled to take action, even if this comes at great personal risk. Murphy and Mielants made another movie this year under the Big Things Films banner: Steve, a forthcoming adaptation of a Max Porter novel about a head teacher at a reform school.
