Broken Flowers (2005), directed by Jim Jarmusch

watched w/ Leslie; DVD rental (Netflix) @ home

Jarmusch is one of my favorite directors. Murray has segued into this brilliant tragic-comedian of late. I'll admit the ending was weak & left us hanging, but the journey was intriguing. An aged & pathetic Don Juan, his forensic loving Ethiopian best friend (who is a great character), and seeking answers in life. The soundtrack is jazzy, the soundtrack is great. I will expect a burned copy of that Jason, thank you very much.

4 out of 5 stars
