In "Broken Flowers," writer-director Jim Jarmusch again makes clear that the journey, not the destination, is what matters to him. And in Bill Murray, he has found an ideal traveling companion.

This strange, dream-like road trip is a near-perfect match of droll director and droller star. Jarmusch has enlisted great stone faces in the past: Johnny Depp in "Dead Man"; Forest Whitaker in "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai."

Yet with Murray, who hilariously starred in a segment of Jarmusch's bull-sessions collection "Coffee and Cigarettes," the filmmaker finds a peerless vessel for his aloof, minimalist style.

Despite a quest that should be fraught with emotion — a man's visits to old lovers in search of a son he never knew he had — Murray registers scarcely any expression beyond the apathetic world-weariness fast becoming his trademark.

I hadn't even heard of this one, but with the roles Murray has been playing lately, he seems a perfect fit for Jarmusch. I'm looking forward to it.

I still watch "Fishing With John" and enjoy the Jarmusch skit alot.

hey yall,

i just saw broken flowers last night. makes you think. The review posted above is pretty accurate in terms of the filmmaking aspect, but I think Bill Murray does register more emotion than the reviewer gives him credit for....
