Review of Don't Come Knocking (2005) by Joël F — 07 Apr 2007
Wonderful teaming of Sam Shepard, Jessica Lange and director Wim Wenders of 'Paris, Texas' fame. Howard Spence (Shepard) is on the run from a movie he's starring in, when he finds out from his mother about a son he supposedly fathered over 20 years ago.
He decides to return to the scene of the crime, and possibly find some meaning in his car-wreck of a life. Super performances from the 2 leads and Gabriel Mann as the angry young man. Sarah Polley does a nice job as a girl who thinks Howard may be her father as well.
This guy was busy! Beautiful cinematography by Franz Lustig, and a really cool score by T-Bone Burnett. Well worth a rental.
