Peaky blinders at n°43 on the New York Times list of the Best 100 TV shows of the 21st century.
“An operatic gangster epic set in the bloody milieu of Birmingham, England’s criminal underground after the First World War, “Peaky” had style to spare, from its anachronistic blues-punk soundtrack to its hoodlum-dandy wardrobe. (Beware those nifty little newsboy caps; there be razor blades in the brim.) But Steven Knight’s long-running Netflix drama was also a canny exploration of fraught family dynamics and post-war trauma, anchored by the arresting performance of Cillian Murphy as the Peaky kingpin Thomas Shelby, a man with a crack in his soul.”
Cillian Murphy is an ambassador for Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, Norway, as part of the #HusetVårt campaign, which aims to support and preserve cultural spaces.
"Culture needs caring spaces. Places for communities to gather, encounter, imagine, share, create… Cultural infrastructure shelters this imagining, and it too needs our protection and support. Buildings like Kunstnernes Hus, or the Phoenix Cinema in Dingle Ireland that I am helping to preserve and reimagine, carry the memory of the artists and communities that have gathered there for generations. They need our support now to continue this work and to foster the emergence of new artistic visions."
