Rating:
A man sets out to find the son he didn't know he had and winds up getting answers to some questions he never asked in this comedy drama from director Jim_Jarmusch. Don Johnston (Bill_Murray) is an emotionally blank middle-aged man who has never married and lives a quiet, comfortable life thanks to shrewd investments in computers (though he doesn't use one himself). After being given his walking papers by his latest girlfriend, Sherry (Julie_Delpy), Don receives an anonymous letter informing him he fathered a son 19 years ago, and that the boy wants to find his dad. Not sure what to do, Don shows the note to Winston (Jeffrey_Wright), a neighbor who fancies himself an amateur detective. With Winston's help, Don narrows the list of possible mothers down to four women, and with a mixture of reluctance and resigned determination he sets out to find them. Armed with a CD of traveling music from Winston, Don pays unannounced visits to Laura (Sharon_Stone), an oversexed widow with a libidinous teenage daughter (Alexis_Dziena); Dora (Frances_Conroy), a stuffy real estate agent; Penny (Tilda_Swinton), an aging biker with no happy memories of Don; and Carmen (Jessica_Lange), a self-styled analyst for pets whose outward eccentricity disguises a firm inner stability.
