"Broken Flowers:" w a r n i n g !

207.30.238.78

If you didn't enjoy Lost in Translation (of Sideways) you'll hate this one.
Also, if you don't like Jermusch's other efforts, you'll like this one even less because his style is more concentrated.
Murray and Jarmusch have distilled away all excess and the emotional impact is the stronger for it.
Like the "hero" of Last Tango in Paris, here we have a middle-aged guy in some sort of crisis. Also, Don Johnston, like Breaker Morant (from the eponymous movie)and Brando's character, has seen it all.
His search for his alleged son's mother isn't really what it appears to be, is it?
Unlike lesser films which spell out the drama or the issues, this one brilliantly, in a Zen way, suggests them.
A quiet film that disturbs.
