Famous Irish actor Cillian Murphy, known for the films Peaky Blinders and Oppenheimer, and his wife, artist Yvonne McGuinness, bought the 100-year-old cinema Phoenix in Ireland.
The Irish Times writes that the star couple plans to reconstruct the building. They planned it for next year. Formerly a dance hall, this venue has been rated one of the best cinemas in the UK and Ireland.
However, other things make it unique. Murphy decided to restore his work because he had been going there to watch movies since childhood, and the place had become familiar to him.
"My father used to go there before me when he was young, and we watched many movies at the Phoenix." "We understand what cinema means to the people of Dingle. We want to open the doors again, expand the creative potential, and restore its place in the cultural dimension of this unique city," said the couple.
