Breakfast on Pluto

Irish director Neil Jordan is perhaps best known for his seminal 1992 film The Crying Game—or maybe 1994’s Interview with the Vampire—but many consider his recent collaborations with novelist Patrick McCabe to be his richest work.  Breakfast on Pluto is his latest. The story of a boy (Cillian Murphy) who flees Ireland for London during the Troubles in search of his missing mother only to become a transvestite prostitute suspected of involvement in an IRA bombing campaign, Breakfast on Pluto has garnered some interesting reviews. But it was the trailer that sold us:

There’s a good interview with Jordan over on PopMatters as well.

We’ll be screening both Breakfast on Pluto and Jordan’s other McCabe adaptation, The Butcher Boy, in the final installment of Makor’s Reverse Shot Presents film series in April.
