Synopsis:
A discreetly ageing lothario is mailed by an old flame that he has a son, now eighteen, who is coming looking for his dad. Cajoled by his friend and neighbour, an IT enthusiast, he embarks on a meticulously planned odyssey through the conquests of twenty years past, a quest which proves as disorienting as it is offbeat.
Review:
Wrily observed road movie in Jarmusch's best jazz-riff style and trading on its star's shopworn persona. It begins with still, impassive seated shots and ends on a silent spin around the hapless hero, who after decades of dispassionate renewal of his partners has, approaching sixty, to learn what it is to be rejected by a son he cannot be sure of and who may not exist at all.
