This Must Be the Place (2011 Paolo Sorrentino & scr)

Either Sorrentino or any producers who actually bothered to watch the rushes should have been fired for allowing Penn to play the lead with such fey, camp weakness which seriously undermines the whole film - you can barely make out what he's saying and looks distractingly as bad as The Cure's Robert Smith. Sorrentino is also trying far too hard to be arty, which is a shame as indie has its moments. The story is ostensibly about tracking down an ageing Nazi who humiliated Penn's estranged father.

Luca Bigazzi's lighting looks more appropriate for a serious thriller like his own Romanzo Criminale:

Also with Frances McDormand, Judd Hirsch, Harry Dean Stanton.
