Review of Broken Flowers (2005) by Steff A — 13 Dec 2009
Very good character study and realistic drama by Jarmusch. The amazing thing is that we don't really know anything about Don. Instead as the movie progress and the mystery deepens we can see him reflected in the women that he visits.
Through the subtle performance of Bill Murray and the gentle direction of Jarmusch we can see the emptiness in his life and the threshold of his realisation of it. The movie as a whole gives us just enough motivation not only to contemplate on Don's life but in general on how not to miss living our own lives.
That is how an old and emotionaly empty Don Juan affects us. He is the perfect idea of a life no spent.
