MOVIE REVIEW
Breakfast on Pluto
Directed by Neil Jordan
Fantastical, Alice-in-Wonderland meets a Dickens novel (maybe Oliver Twist) journey for a hopeful "can't keep her down" transvestite in Breakfast on
Pluto directed by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, The End of the Affair).
Cilian Murphy (Red Eye) turns in an extraordinarily captivating and moving
performance as Patrick "Kitten" Braden -- a conflicted boy who feels disconnected to others and out of place in the world after being abandoned as a
child and feeling more comfortable in lipstick and a dress. He chooses the name Kitten after a patron saint associated with St. Patrick and insists on
this moniker throughout.
Kitten travels to London in search of a birth mother and discovers herself in the process.
Along the way, Kitten finds herself singing in a band, under suspicion for being an IRA terrorist, working as a magician's assistant, turning tricks on the street and finally working as a girl in a peep show booth.
Breakfast on Pluto is all dreamy and bold and endlessly tragic yet ambitiously optimistic at the same time.
