Breakfast On Pluto. Cillian Murphy is an abandoned child in Northern Ireland who is raised by an abusive foster mother. He is caught out cross dressing and misbehaving at his Catholic school where he expresses his feminine side. Watching this part of his early life, I was reminded of reading the Eddie Izzard biography - seeing a male deeply affected by the absence of a mother and connecting to her by dressing as a female. The is an adaptation of a book which I feel may have been a lot grittier than the film turned out. There is still plenty to like in the film though - Murphy's acting (as well as that from the support cast) is top drawer. I loved the music and they did what, to me at least, looked like a good representation of early to mid 1970's Ireland and London. I was Wombles mad as a kid and it really took me back to my formative years to see them feature in this film
The film is currently free on Amazon for those who have Prime.One of the tracks played was Hear Me Calling by Slade. I'm very familiar with their hits, but seeing this track being played live has given me a new respect for these old rockers. The reason for mentioning it here - take a look at the clothes, particularly the shoes that the guys are wearing. Certainly looks like some clothing freestylin' going on there that many on this forum would thoroughly approve of
