Broken Flowers / USA / 2005
A second viewing of this film confirms it as one of my favorites of the year — not that repeated viewings reveal any new clues. The film rests on the most evanescent of bases, and its only aim seems to be to convey a single and very specific mood. This is another way of saying that this film is not for everyone. It’s also to say that film is largely what you make of it. For example, I’m interested in the fact that the entire film seems to take place in upstate New York, and I find the race/class elements resonant. Resonant of what, I don’t know.
