Review of Broken Flowers (2005) by Trevor O — 10 Jul 2008
Jim Jarmusch is always good at character pieces, this one is no exception. This has single batchelor Don Johnston (Bill Murray), who receives a pink letter from one of his old flames who claim he's got a son.
Johnston's wannabe sleuth neighbour Winston (Jeffrey Wright) convinces him to go and find out which one of his old flames it could be, which include Laura (Sharon Stone), Dora (Frances Conroy), Carmen (Jessica Lange) and Penny (Tilda Swinton).
Jarmusch and Murray turn out to be an irresistable combination together, the latter being a perfect match for Jarmusch's quirky direction and down-to-earth characteristics. It does seem to end a little bit too abruptly, but it makes for good viewing on the whole.
