A mediocre musician goes on the road in search of the world's greatest guitar maker
My review · Reviewed 07/04/2025
Jim Jarmusch has a minor role in this, and I can't help but wonder if this movie was an inspiration for the far superior Broken Flowers. In this movie, a musician goes on a quest to find an elusive guitar maker in the hopes that one of his guitars can help his band achieve success. It is a fools errand, and we pretty much know how that is going to turn out. In between, there is a series of mini adventures with famous musicians and characters played by actors who would go on bigger things.
