Interesting (SOMETIMES) IDEA!

Rating: 6/10 (17 October 2004)

I love Jim Jarmusch's STRANGER THAN PARADISE and DEAD MAN and always look forward to his next venture, and this one had moments, but not enough! The Alfred Molina segment and the Tom Waits-Iggy Pop encounter, along with Ms. Cate Blanchett were zeroed in, but some of these vignettes were pointless, boring, or just lazy.
A 6 out of 10. Best performance = Alfred Molina. The scene with the woman by herself (not Blanchett) make absolutely NO SENSE and I wish I knew who that woman is. The brohter and sister scene - SORRY. Beautiful B/W cinematography as always. I really can't believe that he spent years on this though. Great painting of Lee Marvin on the wall in the brother/sister scene. Only for Jarmusch fans!
