Breakfast on Pluto

Release date: 3 September 2005 (Telluride Film Festival)

Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, The Good Thief, among others) directs this strange film of a young Irish lad/transvestite, "Kitten" played by a pre-Red Eye, Cillian Murphy, in search of his awol mother and father. On route, he stumbles into cabaret singing, magician assisting and the IRA ... of all things ... before ending up finding his father who is a Roman Catholic priest (of course!) played by none other than Liam Neeson. Got all that?! Yeh, I know, there's a lot going on in Breakfast on Pluto.

My rating: 5 out of 10.
