The Gangster's Redemption: Cillian Murphy, Barry Keoghan, Tim Roth & Steven Knight

This podcast contains spoilers. Edith Bowman is joined by Packy Lee as they explore the father-son relationship at the heart of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. Cillian Murphy looks at Tommy’s fractured relationship with his son, Duke and how it evolves over the course of the film. Then Steven Knight unpacks the rich symbolism in the pigsty fight between Tommy and Duke — and explores the way Tommy and Beckett, played by Tim Roth, become competing father figures to Duke. We hear from Roth himself about his own connection to World War II and how that influenced his character choices. And finally, Barry Keoghan discusses the way he portrayed Duke: as both a reflection of Tommy, and also a rejection of him. You can watch Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man now on Netflix.
