In the past twenty years, Cillian Murphy has become one of the most renowned Irish actors, to the point where he plays the title role in Christopher Nolan's upcoming "Oppenheimer".
What you might not know is that Murphy's film debut was in Kirsten Sheridan's "Disco Pigs". He plays a man in a relationship with a woman (Elaine Cassidy), only the relationship turns aggressive on his part. The movie turns unpleasant in some scenes as Murphy's character proves jealous in a manner rarely seen outside Jake LaMotta in "Raging Bull". Nonetheless, it remains a complex story and holds the viewer's interest all the way through. I guess that the Irish really ARE the best storytellers!
I doubt that this movie will be easy to find, so you'll have to check your neighborhood video store (yes, they still exist).
PS: Kirsten Sheridan's father is Jim Sheridan, who directed "My Left Foot", "In the Name of the Father" and "In America".
