| A
being from another planet lands in Wisconsin. He’s got to travel
the country in the company of Jenny Hayden. He’s taken on the appearance
of her dead husband. And wears his cap. He lives three days of new experiences,
of learning, three days of discovering how humans live and feel. A humanist
Carpenter, with the collaboration of a sensational Jeff Bridges and the
first “Jones girl”, bring us a view of the earthlings’
world of the 80s seen through the eyes of a newly arrived lover of enormous
apple tarts, who sings along with the music of Sinatra and the Stones,
and who finds love even before understanding what it means to the beat
of Jack Nitzsche’s unforgettable and synthetic sound track. |
