This Must Be The Place<br />
USA, 2012, 218 min. Dir: Paolo Sorrentino USA Comedy<br />
Sean Penn is bizarrely endearing as Cheyenne, an aging rock/Goth star<br />
living in Ireland who is prompted by his father’s death to embark on a<br />
picaresque journey across America - ostensibly to hunt down a Nazi war<br />
criminal. However, the film doesn’t allow itself, or us, to be too hung up on<br />
this goal, being driven by a whimsical relish for the absurd and the everyday<br />
alike.<br />
Frances McDormand plays Cheyenne’s wife/ soul-mate (who is also a<br />
firefighter), while a passing parade of characters includes David Byrne (lead<br />
singer of the band Talking Heads) and the inventor of the wheeled suitcase,<br />
Robert Plath.<br />
