Cillian Murphy on STEVE and BFI LFF highlights with Kristy Matheson

In this episode of Kermode on Film, Mark welcomes two brilliant guests for a lively film conversation, recorded at the BFI Southbank on Monday 15 September 2025.

This is Part 1 of that show, in which Mark is joined by Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy to talk about his role in the new feature STEVE, directed by Tim Mielants. He also talks about the film that influenced his work as an actor, John Cassavetes' A Woman Under The Influence.

Mark is also joined by Kristy Matheson, the director of the BFI London Film Festival, who talks us through some of her highlights, including the opening film WAKE UP DEAD MAN, and the closing film 100 NIGHTS OF HERO, and many more.

In the second half of the 15 September MK3D show, Mark is joined by Nadia Latif and Harris Dickinson to talk about their respective directorial debuts, THE MAN IN MY BASEMENT and URCHIN.

Opening title quotes from:

Mary Poppins (Robert Stevenson, Walt Disney Productions – featuring Julie Andrews)
Nope (Jordan Peele, Universal Pictures – featuring Keke Palmer)
Withnail & I (Bruce Robinson, HandMade Films – featuring Richard E. Grant)
The Exorcist (William Friedkin, Warner Bros. – featuring Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair)

These films are essential viewing.

Watch them. Love them. Share them.

They are masterpieces.
