Quirky and unapologetically indie, Steve Buscemi's new film (as writer/director - no sign of him in front of the camera) looks to be a bit more cheerful than Trees Lounge. Liv Tyler and Casey Affleck have a charming chemistry going on which manages to come out through the trailer.

I haven't seen Trees Lounge, so I don't know how it compares to that, but Lonesome Jim is a lovely movie. Easily one of the highlights of this year's Cannes fest.
I caught this in Philadelphia earlier this year and absolutely loved it ... there's a review in the archive ...
