Jim
Jarmusch teams up with Bill Murray for Broken Flowers, winner of the
Grand Prix at the 2005 Cannes International Film Festival.
The
resolutely single Don has just been dumped by his latest lover, Sherry
(Julie Delpy). Don yet again resigns himself to being alone and left to
his own devices. Instead, he is compelled to reflect on his past when he
receives by mail a mysterious pink letter. It is from an anonymous
former lover and informs him that he has a 19-year-old son who may now
be looking for his father.
Don is
urged to investigate this “mystery” by his closest friend and
neighbor, Winston (Jeffrey Wright), an amateur sleuth and family man.
Hesitant to travel at all, Don nonetheless embarks on a cross-country
trek in search of clues from four former flames (Frances Conroy, Jessica
Lange, Sharon Stone, and Tilda Swinton). Unannounced visits to each of
these unique women hold new surprises for Don as he haphazardly
confronts both his past and, consequently, his present.
