Cillian Murphy’s new film exploring masculinity, All Of This Unreal Time, is set to have a special screening at the Southbank Centre in London during its upcoming season.
The Peaky Blinders star and Oscar winner will be seen in this standout film from Manchester International Festival in December. The film was penned by Max Porter, directed by Aoife McArdle and produced by Mary Hickson.
This exclusive London screening will feature the world premiere of live music composed in response to the film, performed by Aaron and Bryce Dessner and Jon Hopkins. A Q&A session with members of the creative team will also take place.
Murphy expressed his fondness for the project. He said: “All of This Unreal Time is a project I have deep affection for…. it was made in the bleak depths of a pandemic, yet comes from a place of pure collaboration and love.
“We wanted to make a visual poem that scratches at concerns about masculinity, society, and personal responsibility… all of that knotty difficult stuff, but make it with an open and a broken heart.”
Meanwhile, the Cork actor is the hot favourite to snag not one, but two Oscars for his haunting role in the upcoming film Small Things Like These.
The actor stars in the drama exposing a harrowing segment of Irish history. The adaptation of Claire Keegan’s renowned novel takes place amid the stark realities of the Magdalene Laundries in 1980s Ireland.
