Breakfast on Pluto / The Butcher Boy - Neil Jordan Double Feature April 29, 2006

Breakfast on Pluto is a candy-colored Dickensian picaresque about a boy named Patrick "Kitten" Brady, who should have been born a girl. 2005. 135 min.

The Butcher Boy is a darker yet rocket-paced surrealist narrative about Francie Brady, a deeply troubled preteen growing up amid terrible social and parental circumstances. These films show the triumphs and tragedies of forthright individualism. 1997. 109 min.

Part of Makor's Reverse Shot film festival.
