Viewing Notes
It’s hard to make a movie so relentlessly weird and still expect audiences to connect with it on an emotional level. Yet, THIS MUST BE THE PLACE turned out to be one of the most truly invigorating movie experiences I’ve had in a while. Sorrentino’s characters and constantly surprising scenes are crafted with such sincerity it’s impossible to not get caught up and invested in them. This is a beautiful film on every level- every shot is alluring, every feeling it evokes is true, Penn (and everyone else) is top notch and the soundtrack (featuring David Byrne and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy) is expertly chosen.
