Murphy said, “I adore Interstellar just because I find it so emotional. I remember seeing it in the cinema when I had little kids. It just had a big impact on me. It broke my heart. I love watching his films when I’m not in them because you don’t have to freak out about the size of your ears, or whatever.”
What is Interstellar about?
Interstellar follows a group of astronauts who embark on a daring mission through a wormhole in search of a new habitable world as Earth faces ecological collapse. The film blends cutting-edge science with deeply human themes of love, sacrifice, and survival. It’s a sweeping space odyssey that explores humanity’s place among the stars.
Cillian Murphy and Christopher Nolan collaborated in multiple movies, and their latest film, Oppenheimer, won the major Academy Awards last year.
