  a well-read french newspaper had this to say (just first paragraph):
  "Jim Jarmusch returns with "Broken Flowers", a sweet & sour film, a disillusioned and minimalist jewel denouncing the emptiness of a society in a vacuum."

  I haven't seen it yet, I will but there may be a difference between something appearing to be boring and something describing a vacuum as, I guess, vacuums are pretty 'empty'.

      the characters. The mystery, and wonder of 'why did these women ever have a relationship [try] with this guy?'

      I think it said a lot about contemporary American culture/life...and it was amazing to see. I also liked the humanity of the story...in it's gory and glorious variety.

      And yes, Lo was just the right touch.
