I like to breeze through the comments posted before I write up. I'm just amazed. Bad acting? Compared to what? Bad direction, then show me some examples of good. Anyway, I suspect in the era of reality tv more and more people have less an less patience with a movie that has a story. Sophia Coppola did what ain't easy to do on film,she put together elements that could simulate the feeling we all have had of getting lost in time,and what happens when we do. Great job. Bill Murray has turned in great performances before as seriocomic dramatist; both in The Razor's Edge and Maddog and Glory,where he frankly outpaces Deniro, here, he is assured and seems to just understand what Coppola is after. My wife has watched this flik on DVD nearly a dozen times, and it is a beautiful piece of filmaking-especially coming out of America during our cultural wasteland period.
