Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Al is a man struggling with the monotony of life and the threat of middle age, when a routine business trip turns into a life altering experience. With the help of a few bizarre but sincere strangers—a free spirit, a phone sex operator, and a mechanic, Al discovers something incredible…himself.
This sweet comedy from Tom DiCillo, one of the most distinctive voices in American independent cinema, combats the monotonies of 9-to-5 life with a playful touch of magical realism. The always charismatic John Turturro excels as a dejected yet lovable man who finally embraces the art of letting go.
