It’s doubly sad that on the week that Robin Williams passes away, we also get one of the final films from Philip Seymour Hoffman, another tragic loss of a great soul gone too soon.
THN are always eager to celebrate the life of all actors and with GOD’S POCKET out this week, we’ve got an exclusive clip that stars Hoffman himself in another standout role in John Slattery’s directorial debut, which also co-stars John Turturro.
This clip sees Mickey (Hoffman) and Arthur (Turturro) discussing a rather important moment, and with obvious other things going on that they don’t want everyone to know about. The film is set in a small community known as God’s Pocket and adapted from the novel by Peter Dexter
When young racist Leon Hubbard (Caleb Landry Jones) is murdered by a man he’s been targeting, the murder is covered up, but the boy’s mother (Christina Hendricks) suspects something while the stepfather (Hoffman) tries to pay for and organise the funeral arrangements. Check it out below:
GOD’S POCKET is out now in UK cinemas and you can find our review here.
