Colin Farrell touched down at the Zurich Film Festival this week with his latest project Ballad of a Small Player from director Edward Berger. The Irish actor, who was also awarded the Golden Icon Award at the festival, told an audience that he recalled feeling slightly “nauseous” when reading the script for the Macau-set film about a high-rolling gambler whose luck is running out…
The actor said that shooting in Macau was an extraordinary experience and the pace and setting of the shoot took a toll on everyone. “It’s a fascinating place,” he said of the gambling capital of the world. “It really is a character in the film.”
