Post-Barley Cillian Murphy Interview
Following on from the success of Ken Loach’s Irish film, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, the profile of Irish actor Cillian Murphy is rising higher.
There is a nice interview with Cillian in yesterday’s Observer in Britain by Sean O’Hagan:
‘The way Ken works, you never quite know what is going to happen either to your character or to the story’, says Murphy. ‘It’s a style of film-making where you never know the whole story and that keeps you on your toes all the time. But, I tell you, that day up on the mountain where I had to execute that young fella, that was a terrible day. I didn’t find out he was a traitor until I was told on screen and I had to act accordingly. It sort of brings it home to you’
