Cillian Murphy discusses his new film 'Small Things Like These' NPR's Scott Simon speaks to the Oscar-winning actor, Cillian Murphy, about his latest role in Small Things Like These. SIMON: "Small Things Like These" is a new film starring and produced by Cillian Murphy, the Academy Award-winning actor, and directed by Tim Mielants. And, like, I always think that when you're dealing with difficult subjects like this, art is a gentler way of approaching them because there's been many, many, you know, commissions and government reports and academic papers and editorials written about this time in Ireland and books, and - but I just don't know how many people read them or digest them, whereas I think with a film, you know, people can come at it in a gentler way, and I really feel that the film shouldn't be about blame, but more about sort of understanding and questioning. SIMON: Cillian Murphy - his new film, "Small Things Like These" - thank you so much for being with us.
