Film Choices for the Evening
On Netflix, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man offers a final chapter for fans of the Birmingham-set period crime drama. Set in 1940, Tommy Shelby, portrayed by Cillian Murphy, broods in a decaying mansion while his son Duke, played by Barry Keoghan, allies with British fascist John Beckett, portrayed by Tim Roth, to flood the country with counterfeit currency. The film maintains the series' signature style with glowering vistas and anachronistic music.
Later at 11.10pm on BBC Two, In Camera presents a satirical drama by Naqqash Khalid. Starring Nabhaan Rizwan as Aden, an actor facing humiliating auditions, the film explores his descent into disconnection and reality distortion, particularly after being hired to play a dead son for a grieving mother, creating a nightmarish narrative.
