The spirit of the Ghost Busters star was brilliantly resurrected in Lost in Translation. When Broken Flowers was released I was more interested in seeing Bill Murray perform again than in the film. The film was surprisingly good - interesting wacky plot, bloody funny little bits here and there and acting as good as expected.
Whilst aging badly he finds out that one of his ex girlfriends had his child, a son, way back. Apparently now 18′ish he sets off on a mission to find out who. Having been quite the playboy the list is rather long. He shows up on the doorstep of each long lost with a bunch of flowers. Looking a right prat and feeling uncomfortable to match, he’s met with with responses that run the full gamut. Just when he thinks he’s figured it out, it all slips through his fingers. Alas, he never uncovers the truth. Poor old man with flowers.
This one’s a classic by Banksy.
A lovely lo-fi animation process is documented here.
