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.
