My Blueberry Nights (2007)

.
"So what's wrong with the blueberry pie?"
"There's nothing wrong with the blueberry pie, just people make other choices. You can't blame the blueberry pie, it's just that no one wants it."
Elizabeth (Norah Jones) has been let down in love once again. She pours out what she can to the owner of a NYC coffeehouse, Jeremy (Jude Law), who has also lost love. In her attempt to find out what it all means, Elizabeth sets off on a cross-country odyssey in which she encounters people who help give her perspective by the lives they lead.

David Strathairn plays an alcoholic Memphis cop and Rachel Weisz is his oversexed estranged wife. Natalie Portman is a gambler who persuades Elizabeth to spot her in Las Vegas.

Directed by Kar Wai Wong who also co-wrote the screenplay with Lawrence Block.

Run time: 1 hour, 33 minutes

Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material including violence, drinking and smoking.

My personal rating: B-
