No doubt, Broken Flowers wouldn't work with an actor like Bill Murray. It just amazed me, how hard he made me laugh just by NOT making a face or saying something - just by sitting there and... well, doing his "inner" actions.
It's a masterpiece of acting, with a great, working story. I've seen Don't Come Knocking the same day and since it has a comparable story it is easy to see that this story works while the other has severe flaws.
It is difficult for me to see the extraordinary performance of Jarmusch - some images looked a little bit dull and videoish to me and kind of distracted me from the story. But then, this is the work of the DoP and not the director.
