About this product

Product Information

Set in the United Kingdom during the tumultuous 1960s and 70s, BREAKFAST ON PLUTO tells the story of Patrick Kitten Braden, an orphan from a small Irish town who dreams of escaping his drab surroundings. Though his orphan status is enough to make him an outsider, Patrick's gleeful decision to become the cross-dressing androgynous Kitten sends him into the outside world for good. He ends up at the trailer home of travelling musician Billy Rock, who is hiding weapons used by the IRA in a series of vicious attacks. After an unexpected tragedy, Kitten says farewell to Ireland and heads for the glamorous, rough-and-tumble streets of London, where she faces hatred and hardship in equal measure.

Additional InformationReuniting with writer Patrick McCabe, who co-scripted his acclaimed 1997 film THE BUTCHER BOY, Neil Jordan delivers another entertaining spectacle of a motion picture. Set in the United Kingdom during the tumultuous 1960s and 70s, BREAKFAST ON PLUTO tells the story of Patrick Kitten Braden (an electrifying Cillian Murphy), an orphan from a small Irish town who dreams of escaping his drab surroundings. Though his orphan status is enough to make him an outsider, Patrick's gleeful decision to become the cross-dressing androgynous Kitten sends him into the outside world for good. He ends up at the trailer home of travelling musician Billy Rock (Gavin Friday), who is hiding weapons used by the IRA in a series of vicious attacks. After an unexpected tragedy, Kitten says farewell to Ireland and heads for the glamorous, rough-and-tumble streets of London, where she faces hatred and hardship in equal measure. Through it all, Kitten somehow retains her unwavering spirit, teaching a valuable lesson about staying hopeful and optimistic in the face of harsh degradation. Murphy's portrayal of the fiercely flamboyant Kitten is a sight to behold. Beautiful as a man, Murphy's appearance takes on an even more ethereal glow as a woman. Adding greater weight to the proceedings are the performances from Jordan regulars Liam Neeson and Stephen Rea, as well as Ruth Negga, Laurence Kinlan, and real-life musician Friday. Filled with a staggering amount of great pop songs from that legendary era, BREAKFAST ON PLUTO is an inspiring ode to individual human spirit.
ReviewsSight And Sound - Declan Quinn's cinematography is suitably lush, with bright blood reds and luminescent greens echoing Patrick's garishly provocative sartorial sensibilities, Premiere Magazine - Incredibly moving... Cillian Murphy is marvellous, The Daily Mirror - Fantasically funny and deeply moving, New York Times - [With] a zany, lurching momentum and vitality... The sweetness works in a delightfully subversive way

  • Funny Movie. You Will Fall In Love With KITTEN.

    Funny and sad movie about the lovely lonely Kitten looking for his mother and the many adventures he goes threw and the character he meets along the way. Cillian Murphy plays Kitten excellently and makes a beautiful woman. Loved the Wombles bit in it. You will fall in love with Kitten, she just wants to be loved.

  • 10/10

    I was reminded of how brilliant Cillian Murphy is when I went to see Opoenheimer. I recalled when I had seen him in Breakfast on Pluto years ago and how much I had enjoyed that film. Recommendèd it to my friend and as I could not find it on the streaming channels I had decided to see if it was available to purchase on dvd. It was, I did and I enjoyed it all over again. Cillian stunning as a trans woman. What an absolutely brilliant film. Laughed my socks off.

  • Wish I would have come across this film earlier

    This was one of the best films I have watched in ages. Really nostalgic, summed up some of the crazy problems there were in Ireland. Very dark comedy, but it was incredibly entertaining.
