Based on the novel &NFi;The Dork of Cork&NFi_; by Chet Raymo, this heartwarming film is built around writer Frank Bois’s (Corban Walker) recollections of his mother’s (Anne Parillaud) tumultuous life and his own struggle to cope with dwarfism. As Frank gains success as an author, he awakens to the powerful impact his mother has had on him. Directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, this bittersweet tale also stars Gabriel Byrne and Matt Dillon.
Actually haven't seen the film, but bought the soundtrack and it features some of the best music Elmer Bernstein has ever composed.
