Film : Breakfast on Pluto

[Jackal]

I saw this over the holidays. I need to watch it again but it is a fantastic movie.

Cillian Murphy plays a young Irish transvestite in the growing up as a child of the 70's who moves to london in search of his long-lost mother. Neil Jordan directs and the whole thing is a visual treat.

Great performances all round, great movie.

The First Truly Great Film I Have Seen In ages...., 1 January 2006
10/10

A masterpiece. I have not seen many of Jordan's other works, but I intend to give his career a thorough examining after seeing Breakfast on Pluto. I also now have an immense respect for Cillian Murphy. To go from 28 Days Later and Red Eye to the layered, mesmerizing performance of Pluto is astounding. The story of using fantasy to escape the harshness of reality is so appealing, one would think this movie could be accepted by the masses. Dreamy visuals, multi layered and realistic characters mixed with stark visceral violence and political mechanisms create an emotionally jarring experience unlike anything I have ever experienced before. I intend to go to the film again and perhaps again. And I urge everyone to go and see this film and support it. Instantly in my top ten all time favorite movies. Bravo Mr. Jordan and Bravo Mr. Murphy.
