A rather interesting cast makes this movie worth a view.Although the story is kinda far fetched the actors try hard and Norah Jones can act a little besides being the outstanding singer we all knew she was.1 1/2 stars off for the "out there"story.Released in 2007 it runs 97 minutes. Norah Jones as Elizabeth ,Jude Law as Jeremy ,David Strathairn as Arnie ,Rachel Weisz as Sue Lynne and finally Natalie Portman as Leslie are all outstanding with a good supporting cast as well.Directed by a Kar Wai Wong,who also wrote the story , whom I had never heard of before,makes for a pleasurable viewing.Trailer URL follows pix.IMDB summary below.
Elizabeth's heart is broken. For solace, she drops in late at night a few times at Jeremy's diner for blueberry pie a la mode; they talk. Once, he watchers her sleep, her head on the counter. Abruptly, she leaves New York City to get away from her pain. She works a couple of jobs in Memphis. There, a heart-broken cop is drinking himself into oblivion, his ex occasionally showing up where he drinks and Lizzy works. Then, she's in Nevada, working at a casino where she uses her savings (she wants a car) to stake Leslie, a busted gambler, in a high rollers' game. After, Beth drives Leslie to Vegas where Leslie's estranged father lives. Broken relationships. What about Jeremy? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
