Directed by: Jim Jarmusch
Staring: Bill Murray, Frances Conroy, Jessica Lange, Tilda Swinton, Julie Delpy, Sharon Stone
Murray plays Don Johnston – a lothario and longtime bachelor who learns in an anonymous letter that twenty years ago one of his ex-girlfriends had his child and never told him. Spurred on by his amateur detective next door neighbour Winston, not to mention the recent departure of his current girl Sherry, Don reluctantly agrees to seek out a cross section of former flames, attempt to uncover the mother’s identity, and just maybe, find the sense of purpose and direction he desperately needs but never knew to seek.
Winner of the 2005 Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, this is one of Jim Jarmusch’s funniest, most touching and accessible films.
