'Broken Flowers' is a delight. A terrific little film, about an aging Don Juan, who embarks on a journey of a lifetime. Jim Jarmusch & Bill Murray offer a story, that is funny, melancholic but ultimately, rewarding. 'Broken Flowers' Synopsis: As the extremely withdrawn Don Johnston is dumped by his latest woman, he receives an anonymous letter from a former lover informing him that he has a son who may be looking for him. A freelance sleuth neighbor moves Don to embark on a cross-country search for his old flames in search of answers.'Broken Flowers' works from start to end. Reason? The magnificently Written Screenplay by Jarmusch himself, is incredibly engaging & engrossing. You are with the protagonist & its fun to tag along in his journey, where he ends up reliving his youth. I was throughly engrossed even by its supporting characters. Jarmusch has penned every character solidly. Jarmusch's Direction is applaud-worthy, as always. 'Broken Flowers' is undoubtedly amongst his finest films to date.Bill Murray is astonishing here. The Acting Legend delivers an unforgettable turn as the man who must catch up with what he left behind. Murray portrays his part with remarkable conviction. After Lost In Translation, this is his best performance to date.The Supporting Cast also deliver wonderfully. Sharon Stone leads the pack & is excellent. Frances Conroy is genuinely affecting, while Jessica Lange is mature. Jeffrey Wright is fantastic, in a meaty role. Christopher McDonald is first-rate. Julie Delpy & Tilda Swintion shine in cameos, as well. On the whole, 'Broken Flowers' works on every level. A Must Watch!

Don (middle-aged bachelor, starred Bill Murray) received an anonymous letter from an ex-lover, informing him that he has a son aged 19 who maybe looking for him. Don's neighbor made Don narrowed down the possibility to four former lovers and moved him to visit them to search for answers.The subject sounds dramatic (or has the possibility to be dramatic). However, since the director is Jim Jarmusch, you cannot expect him to tell a classical Hollywood story. The story is told in a smooth way, with little ups and downs and an open ending. I'm not very sure about the theme, but very impressed by Don's detached attitude towards life and his hesitation on actions. I like the story's mood, which is very well created by appropriate blank in characters' relationship and narrative rhythm, as well as Bill Murray's natural performance. Broken Flowers is the second film of Jim Jarmusch I saw, after Only Lovers Left Alive. Both of them made me feel there is some nature beauty in Jim Jarmusch's film language. It seems he creates beautiful scenes with little effort, just like the way he tells his story, which has some natural lightness in it.

The Plot. As the extremely withdrawn Don Johnston is dumped by his latest woman, he receives an anonymous letter from a former lover informing him that he has a son who may be looking for him. A freelance sleuth neighbor moves Don to embark on a cross-country search for his old flames in search of answers.What's with the good reviews? This movie is not only pointless, it's an insult to anyone's intelligence. The story is dumb and everyone acts as if they are stoned and have no emotion.The writing is horrible.Bill Murray is supposed to be a former internet hot shot but he cake walks through this role like he's asleep. One of the few times i can say i was bored silly by his performance.I bet he agreed to this trash just so he could bang all the women in it.

This is the 6th Jarmusch film I've seen (all started with the lovely only Lovers Left Alive), and while I haven't loved all of the films I've seen from him (only loved two in fact) I still find his films really interesting. There's something so inherently pure and natural about them. This may very well be his most accessible yet that I've seen. It's basically a road trip film. Sure, there's nothing outrageous or thrilling or all that funny (on the surface) about it, but that doesn't stop it from being endlessly intriguing. It's really a joy to watch to see Bill murray knock on the door of these different great actresses and each of these great actresses getting their little spotlight time (Jessica Lange getting the most meat out of her screen time). Definitely recommended.
