John’s “Broken Flowers” flashback review, April 15, 2021
“Broken Flowers” — This unofficial companion piece to “Lost in Translation” finds a numb Bill Murray visiting all his old girlfriends, with decidedly different results. Great scene: One scene ends with Murray sitting unmoving on his couch for a good 20 seconds, then it cuts to another scene of him doing the same on the airplane.
