Broken Flowers (2005) is a drama written and directed by Jim Jamusch. This film won the Grand Prix at Cannes Film Festival and was critically acclaimed and received as a comedy. I am unable to relate to its humour, but Broken Flowers still has its outrageously mischievous moments which dot the vast canvas of an emotionally taxing storyline. The film resolves by resolving nothing; the melancholic tone of the film reaches its apex in its inconclusive conclusion as the protagonist struggles to come to terms with what transpired during his journey to find out if he does indeed have a son whom a lover almost twenty years ago gave birth to. Perhaps to avoid disappointment, one must learn to not have hopes or expectations.
