Broken Flowers

About This Movie

Jim Jarmusch's 'Broken Flowers' is this quiet exploration of regret and male introspection. Bill Murray's performance as Don is understated, capturing that lost vibe perfectly. The pacing is leisurely, almost meditative, which really lets you sink into the colors and sounds of the road trip. Jarmusch’s signature style is evident, with those long takes and quirky characters adding to the oddball atmosphere. The use of practical effects and real locations really grounds the film too, helping to evoke a sense of nostalgia. It's not your typical comedy-drama mashup; it lingers with you, raises questions about relationships and what might have been, which is pretty distinctive in its own right.

Released by Focus Features in 2005 · Shot on location across the U.S. · Features a minimalist score from Mulatu Astatke · Bill Murray won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival
