Cillian Murphy is known for his intense and immersive performances, whether playing a Brummie gang leader on “Peaky Blinders,” a Batman baddie in “The Dark Knight” trilogy or the real-life father of the atomic bomb in “Oppenheimer” — which scored the Irish actor his first Oscar last year.
But along with those big, blockbuster roles are some lesser-known Murphy performances that also deserve some time in the spotlight. One of them is “Breakfast on Pluto.”
The 2005 Irish dramedy sees the future Oscar winner transform into Kitten Braden, a young transgender woman searching for love and her long-lost mother in Ireland and London during the groovy 1970s.
