..also caught Broken Flowers yesterday & liked it very much - not as epic as Dead Man but with all the tight & simple subtleness that I like in Jarmusch' films + some funny moments (carrots & him waking up with one of the ex's plastered all over him).
A sense of loss & emptiness redeemed by his Murray's short advice to his 'son', then blown again by his wanting to 'own' him.
I think these type of films look simple but must be quite hard to get right. Jarmusch has it down to a pat.
Murray has to patent his modern day Buster Keaton before every older actor gets a hold of it.
