Additional information
In the new film from acclaimed writer/director Jim Jarmusch, which won the
Grand Prix at this year's Cannes International Film Festival, Bill Murray stars
as Don Johnston. The resolutely single Don has just been dumped by his
latest lover, Sherry (Julie Delpy). Don yet again resigns himself to being
alone and left to his own devices. Instead, he is compelled to reflect on his
past when he receives by mail a mysterious pink letter. It is from an
anonymous former lover and informs him that he has a 19-year-old son who
may now be looking for his father. Don is urged to investigate this "mystery"
by his closest friend and neighbor, Winston (Jeffrey Wright), an amateur
sleuth and family man. Hesitant to travel at all, Don nonetheless embarks on
a cross-country trek in search of clues from four former flames (Frances
Conroy, Jessica Lange, Sharon Stone, and Tilda Swinton). Unannounced
visits to each of these unique women hold new surprises for Don as he
haphazardly confronts both his past and, consequently, his present.
