#220 - Broken Flowers (2005) Review


Broken Flowers (2005), Jim Jarmusch
3.5/5

A strange and absurd film that feels like an old detective film, and is an oddball comedy. Bill Murray is great in this restrained role in this mid-life crisis character that is reflecting over his life. It has a great supporting cast dominated by strong female actors. This isn't a typical comedy, it has a very dry understated humour. Overall not really mainstream but a really interesting film which reminds me of films like Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom (all directed by Wes Anderson) as well as The Squid and the Whale (Noah Baumbach).
