Wonderful, complex entertainment
Set in the 60's and 70's against the backdrop of the troubles in Ireland, Breakfast on Pluto follows the upbringing and early adult life of the unique illegitimate transvestite Patrick (Kitten) Brady, brilliantly acted by Cillian Murphy in a role which should win him awards aplenty. The chaotic colourful story shows the difficulties he has to face, but never seems to over-sentimentalise them, neither does the film fall into cliché, even when you expect it might. Instead, presumably because the story is told through the complex, compassionate Kitty, the film has real voice and character. It is a little chaotic and difficult to follow at times because of the strong Irish accents, but, despite its sometimes difficult themes, it is intelligent, unique, bright and colourful, and...
Breakfast on Pluto
Carina ChocanoPatrick "Kitten" Braden, the husky-voiced, heavy-lidded transvestite played by Cillian Murphy in Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto, wishes that everybody would stop being so serious. Which is pretty wishful as wishes go, considering Patrick/Kitten grows up gay in repressive 1960s Ireland and struggles mightily to remain glib and shallow throughout the turbulent '70s, as bombs, riots and violent clashes make the world unsafe for fabulousness.
Based on a novel by Patrick McCabe (whose novel The Butcher Boy Jordan adapted in 1997), Breakfast on Pluto presents itself as a sort of 20th century Candide, synoptic chapter headings and all. But more than the easily influenced naif of Voltaire's masterpiece, Patrick resembles eternal optimist Pangloss, who refuses...
Breakfast on Pluto
The tale of a young transvestite in 1960s and 1970s Ireland and London. Cillian Murphy stars, Neil Jordan directs and his Butcher Boy co-writer Patrick McCabe collaborates
The title is a quote from Mosher (Cunningham), a philosophical stoner biker who young Patrick "Kitten" Braden meets; it is the end of a journey of self-discovery. Such a journey forms the backbone of the film.
Patrick is the illegitimate son of Father Liam (Neeson) and his housekeeper (Birthistle). He was packed off to live with a foster mother and grows up an outsider in straight-laced, small-town 1960s Ireland. He becomes friends with three other outsiders: adopted Charlie, Laurence (who has Down Syndrome) and young rebel Irwin. Together they skirt the edges of their buttoned-down societ...
Breakfast on Pluto
The privilege is a quote from Mosher (Cunningham), a contemplative stoner biker who young Patrick "Kitten" Braden meets; it is the aimless of a trek of self-discovery. Such a way forms the mainstay of the covering. Patrick is the illegitimate son of Forebear Liam (Neeson) and his housekeeper (Birthistle). He was filled to the gunwales touched in the head to live with a help mammy and grows up an purlieus in point-blank-laced, small-city 1960s Ireland. He becomes friends with three other outsiders: adopted Charlie, Laurence (who has Down Syndrome) and young rebel Irwin. Together they skirt the edges of their buttoned-down society, with Patrick enhancing an increasingly ill at ease instal as his transvestite fa‡ade matures ("In preference to of PE, I could tak...
