Product Description

Cheyenne is a former rock star. At 50, he still dresses 'Goth' and lives in Dublin off his royalties. The death of his father, with whom he wasn't on speaking terms, brings him back to New York. He discovers his father had an obsession: to seek revenge for a humiliation he had suffered. Cheyenne decides to pick up where his father left off, and starts a journey, at his own pace, across America.

5.0 out of 5 stars A meditation on past success and the meaning of present from a melancholic, wealthy early retirement
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2018

Actually, I think this is a 4+ star movie, especially compared to the subsequent films by the same director, and I am giving it 5 stars only to bring its average review rating here closer to what I think it deserves.

The good: This movie, like the rest of the films by Paolo Sorrentino, explores how it should feel being a wealthily retired ex-superstar with no aspirations or desires left to live for, who at the same time is smart enough to realise that even those past achievements and acclaim largely stayed in that past and have probably had almost a zero effect on the world. The movie is relatively slow paced and is a pleasantly warm watch. The cinematography is beautiful and the sound/BGM is fantastic. If you happen to have a good screen and a good sound system, you will definitely enjoy this movie all the more.

My only criticism is that although this movie is clearly made a bit surreal by design, some features are just too unreal: it is simply impossible to imagine how the protagonist, with his character and voice, could have been a successful stage performer in the past. Even with all the things you gradually learn about the reasons for his retirement etc, it is still difficult to unwind this character back to something even remotely resembling a rock superstar. His hearty, active wife being ostensibly happy in her marriage with this depressed person for so many years is another thing which feels too unreal and does not seem to be required at all by the plot.

Overall I liked this movie very much, but not quite as much as the other two movies of the same director that I've seen: "La grande bellezza" and "Youth". If you haven't watched them yet then I would recommend considering them first. These are his later movies exploring exactly the same theme, but which are free from the mentioned narrative abnormalities.

"There's something not quite right about this. I'm not sure what, but something"
We hear this phrase fairly often from the lead character Cheyenne played by Sean Penn. I wonder if they had any idea how prophetic it would become in expressing the overall feel of the film itself.

Sean Penn is one of the few actors who can literally transform himself from role to role. Changing every nuance of his speech syntax, body movement, breathing rhythms perhaps it's more than a transformation it's a metamorphosis into a new being.

I would wager that if someone who didn't know of Sean Penn were to screen say, Mystic River, Carlitos Way and The Assassination of Richard Nixon they would have no idea and nor would they believe it was the same actor in each film.

This a rare quality and I believe a natural gift that can't be learned any more than it can be taught. Lon Chaney had it and he amazed the world for decades. Today we have Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Charleze Theron and a very few others who have this remarkable and innate ability.

Mr. Penn has created an interesting and charming character in Cheyenne - and "This Must Be The Place" plays out as road movie, late in life coming of age story, Father and Son introspective, Nazi hunter and love story all tied up in a very loose bow. In other words it's one rail shy of a train wreck.

With very little screen time, Frances Mcdormand who I adore reprises her role from Fargo, only this time instead of a floppy police hat she wears a floppy fire fighters hat. It's odd and disturbing - but then this movie is full of old tricks.

There's an old saying among comics "They can't all be gems" it's primarily used when jokes bomb. But I think all artists regardless of the medium they use are entitles to fail because it makes us treasure the moments when it all works.

It never all works here, not entirely. But Cheyenne is worth meeting and it's a performance that rises above the less than mediocre film it's trapped in. My hunch is it should be playing for free anytime now I suggest catching it then.

5.0 out of 5 stars A film with deep emotions, subtle comedy and great heart.

How many films do you see that leave you in a stillness...a place of heart and charm, a feeling of the past and present holding your hands and helping you into the next moment? This film has great riches, and strengths hiding under blankets of humor and pathos. It's pace and it's spell of kindness, inner strength, delicacy, and memory have a way of gathering and growing and leaving you touched. There is great charm in the subtle strengths of Penn's character, and he is matched by the surprising powers of his co-stars; many of these actors we have never seen before. There are no weak moments in this film...you don't feel like you're just waiting for the next beat, while the camera draws it's journey on the screen. This is a very smart script, and perfectly executed story. It doesn't become facile, as some road films do, it becomes stronger as it develops, and finally arrives at a very powerful ending. There's a resonance, a sadness and humor intertwined to great effect. I've seen some glib responses in the other comments here. They are seriously mistaken. I hope you see this. It will stick with you.

I cannot even explain why I enjoyed this movie but I did. The plot did not have any major climaxes but this movie still kept me engaged. Sean Penn does such a great job playing his role in this movie and makes you laugh even when he's being serious. The style and pace sort of reminded me of "Middle of Nowehere" (Susan Sarandon) and "Friends With Money" (Jennifer Aniston).

Great film, beautifully shot. Don’t be expecting some vacuous rom-com.
Watched this after finishing The Young Pope (it’s by the same guy.) and it didn’t disappoint.
David Byrne’s cameo was a real treat.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
UN FILM DI PAOLO SORRENTINO
EDIZIONE SPECIALE LIBRO + BLU RAY, 2011
DTS-HD MASTER AUDIO 5.1
LINGUE: ITALIANO ED INGLESE CON SOTTOTITOLI IN ITALIANO PER NON UDENTI
Il film ha vinto 3 Nastri d'Argento (regia, scenografia, fotografia) e 5 David di Donatello (sceneggiatura, musiche, fotografia, trucco, acconciature, regia).

Sean Penn impiegò meno di 3 giorni a dire si a Paolo Sorrentino per accettare la parte di Cheyenne. Fu sua l’idea – di Sean Penn – di recitare in falsetto (ascoltatelo in originale), ed ancora sua l’idea di quella meravigliosa, sbilenca, appassionata, dolente, romantica camminata, “quella tipica degli uomini che si vergognano di essere diventati ricchi”. Ed è così che quest’uomo di cinquant’anni – per metà rock star e per metà figlio mai desiderato - si porta dietro un carrello della spesa, un trolley, non come fossero dei pesi, ma come bastoni su cui poggiarsi. Inseguendo con lo sguardo la dolente camminata di Cheyenne il film scorre attraverso decine di episodi che appartengono alla vita del protagonista ma anche – e soprattutto – alla vita degli autori, del regista e dello sceneggiatore ( Contarello). Perché un film non è mai un’opera solitaria ma nasce dal desiderio e dalla felicità di metterci dentro tutto ciò che piace agli autori; ma questo è possibile solo quando dietro la macchina da presa c’è uno come Sorrentino dotato di una straordinaria capacità di sintesi visiva.
Lucidamente intimo.

NOTE ALLA VISIONE DEL BLU RAY 5.1
Il libro è un libricino di 30 pagine e 20 fotografie che raccontano il cinema di Sorrentino.
La qualità video è priva di sbavature e restituisce in pieno la bellezza della fotografia. L’audio è molto buono ed i dialoghi intellegibili. Una goduria per gli occhi e le orecchie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un des plus beaux films de l'année 2011! A voir absolument
Reviewed in France on December 14, 2011

Ne vous fiez pas aux apparences, cette ancienne star de Rock, au look désabusé,dénaturé,et finalement dépassé, qui traine sa cinquantaine, comme il traine avec lui en permanence, sa petite valise à roulettes, n'est pas celui qu'il parait. Sean Penn incarne ici un de ses personnages les plus énigmatiques et attachants.
Le réalisateur Paolo Sorrentino nous offre un film tout en nuances où les images accompagnées de la musique de fond,"This must be the place" du groupe Talking Head,( on ne pourra plus s'en passer ensuite!) sont d'une beauté artistique singulière. La caméra sort des sentiers battus pour trouver des angles de vue originaux qui font de ce film une œuvre forte et à part. Sean Penn est grandiose dans son rôle de Cheyenne,star vieillissante qui cache son mal de vivre sous une panoplie immuable de Zorro du Rock.Tel un clown à la fois pathétique et plein d'un humour décapant, il pose au spectateur des questions d'une apparente naïveté, mais dont les accents de gravité nous touchent profondément.
La mort du père de Cheyenne vient brutalement réveiller en lui des désespoirs enfouis depuis l'enfance. Ce père qui croit-il, l'a rejeté lorsqu'il a commencé sa carrière de rockeur déjanté,a passé sa vie à traquer des nazis en fuite, dont un en particulier, avec lequel il a un compte personnel a régler. Mais sa mort soudaine l'empêchera de mener à terme la quête de toute une vie.
Cheyenne, le fils exilé en Irlande fera le grand voyage pour reprendre à son compte le destin d'une histoire familiale dont il se croyait exclu.
Cette grande traversée des USA sera pour lui l'occasion de trouver sa place dans le monde d'aujourd'hui.Sa place et sa vérité.
En dépit d'un sujet qui peut sembler grave, le talent des acteurs, en particulier celui de Sean Penn dont la femme, pompier à ses heures,est magnifiquement interprétée par Frances McDormand, et la mise en scène parfaite, donne au film un ton drôle,tendre et attachant qui laisse en nous un parfum inoubliable! A voir et revoir !
