Jason Schwartzman

Looking at our world through Jason Schwartzman's curious and compassionate gaze was an enriching departure from my own stagnant perspective. You know that poignant feeling you get from finishing a novel because you hate to leave the characters to whom you've become attached? Pick up "No One You Know" if you'd like to feel it twelve times an hour.

A cosy film about three adult brothers trying to cope with their shared and individual emotional baggage on a train journey in India. It felt like the film as a whole was missing a little something to be truly memorable, but the understated humour is frequently great, the sibling dynamics are consistently excellent, and several emotional beats had satisfyingly strong effects on me -- most notably among them when Adrian Brody's character delivers his heart-wrenching line upon returning bloody show more from the river (I shan't spoil the exact nature of the scene here). show less

With such a title, I cannot resist. And even though there is only one brief tea scene, and not a single tea plantation in view, I treasure it. KH March 7

Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman. Color Color Color, what sights. Hundreds of actors and extras in Hindi Indian. A magnificent and humorous train ride. Angelica Huston!!!!
