Prima Jarmusch with an excellent Bill Murray as a woman conqueror who is gradually getting older, but is suddenly confronted with his past. The biggest plus is that Jarmusch, as expected, does not tread the beaten track of the romantic happy feeling.
In his own casual style of drama and a touch of humor, he has the character Don Johnston track down some old friends. There, too, he notes that life went on and occasionally leaves its mark. One of them has since passed away, he concludes.
The plot is slow, but given enough time and space to be told. A film in which the main character contemplates his life and determines that everything is fleeting and he decides to himself that he has only dabbled in it. The film is by no means philosophical, on the contrary, but it is a role that suits Murray. Great ending also that does not go as you would expect in many other films.
