We wanted more Jeffrey Wright - here he's Bill Murray's amateur detective neighbour, married to Heather Alicia Simms, who helps him to track down an ex who may have had his kid. And in the women he meets, it tells us quite a lot about his character through his choices. So he confronts carefree Sharon Stone and her daughter 'Lolita' Alexis Dziena, middle -of -the-road Frances Conroy, animal communicator Jessica Lange (and Chloe Sevigny) and Tilda Swinton and her biker friends. And doesn't find a grown-up son. Though does notice pink things and typewriters.
Are the 'broken flowers' the women he has damaged?
Who sent the letter, then? It's a Jim Jarmusch film - don't ask silly questions.
