Broken Flowers (2005)
Director: Jim Jarmusch
Movie review
From Time Out New York
Is there a more pitifully poignant scenario than an aging Casanova pining for his lost youth? Jim Jarmusch answers with a typically understated "possibly"; his collaboration with fellow Deadpan Alley hall-of-famer Bill Murray, as a long-in-the-tooth lothario on a road trip to potential paternity, finds them slowing each other down to a stultifying stasis. Even when the actor breaks his world-weary mode for classic wisecracking, the tar-pit pacing never changes. But the ending is sublime, a set piece that almost makes up for the overwhelming slightness of it all.Author: DF
