About this product

Product Information

Director Neil Jordan expertly blends fantasy and reality in the saga of Francie Brady (Eamonn Owens), an energetic and imaginative boy whose bleak existence in a small 1960s Ireland town eventually drives him to drastic measures. With his friend Joe (Alan Boyle), Francie escapes into a world of comic books, television, and science fiction films to cope with his mentally ill mom (Aisling O'Sullivan) and alcoholic father (Stephen Rea, who also plays the adult Francie). Tragic circumstances mount, and the chasm between Francie's imaginary life and the drab reality of rural Ireland grows too great, leading to bloody consequences. Jordan scripted THE BUTCHER BOY along with the author of the novel, Patrick McCabe, and the result is an unusual and rewarding blend of pitch-black comedy and wry social commentary. Owens, in his screen debut, is an absolute marvel as the lead, strutting through the film with the irrepressible cheek of a Marx brother. Cleverly avoiding a depressing or obvious depiction of Francie's breakdown, the film is a truly original, funny, and horrifying work that will likely gain recognition as a cult classic. Sin�ad O'Connor appears as the Virgin Mary and also sings the title song.

  • Interesting, dark and funny all at the same time

    The film tells us of the life of Francie Brady, looking back at the events that led him to his madness. It starts out as a nice coming of age movie, that digresses into the dark and morbid side of Francie's young life. The film gives you a mixture of funny moments with Francie's antics and his way of retelling his life, to dark and even disturbing scenes. There's one scene, where Francie, takes on the task of cleaning their house, oblivious of the fact the his father is lying dead and decomposing on the couch. This is an unusual and unique film that will leave you feeling happy and sad at the same time. Also, one to check out - Sinead O' Connor's portrayal of Francie's hallucinations of the Virgin Mary.
