About Schmidt (2002 Alexander Payne & co-scr)

Novel Louis Begley - adapted by AP and Jim Taylor.

Subtle, grey film (by that I mean not black and white), open to interpretation (is the son-in-law just a 'nincompoop' or is the father incapable of seeing that his daughter is marrying for love?)

Jack Nicholson, Hope Davis, Dermot Mulroney, Kathy Bates.

Music Rolfe Kent (and featuring piano music that is unmistakably Satie). Edited by Kevin Tent. Ph James Glennon.

Mark Venhuizan, with the Nicholson
