>It’s the opening night movie for this years Berlin film festival on Feb 15:
>Murphy plays Bill Furlong, a devoted father and coal merchant living in 1980s Ireland who discovers shocking truths about the infamous Magdalen laundries, the horrific asylums run by the Roman Catholic Church for “fallen women.”
Donkey jacket!
The book it’s based on is really good (and by the same author who wrote the short story that the wonderful An Cailín Ciúin is based on), definitely looking forward to this one.
Bring back the laundries but for promiscuous lads. They think they’re so great.
It’s a fierce short book, I wonder how they’ll stretch it to film length?
Filmed in Bray last year! Bray getting lots of films and movies in recent times.
IMO Every living nun , priest, bishop , archbishop cleric, deacon should be made to watch on repeat when the film is released until the RC Church pays up.
kinda sus that they’re doing a movie about the laundries but centering it on a man but whatever
My nana grew up in one of the laundries. Refused to talk about it until the day she died.
This is going to be a tough watch. We still have to watch it though.
