DVD of the week: This Must Be The Place

Published on 12/08/2012 05:30

What is it? Sean Penn plays an ageing, retired Goth rock star on a mission to find his dying Jewish father’s Nazi tormentor, in the enjoyably offbeat English-language debut of Italian director Paolo Sorrentino.

This Must Be The Place

Trinity Film, £17.99


What we said: “Just watching Penn wander around with backcombed hair and lipstick is a surreal experience. But while he’s funny and sweet and more than a little bit kooky, Penn plays Cheyenne with utter conviction, never treating him – or the pleasingly oddball premise – as a joke, which makes the film as moving as it is eccentric.”
Extras: Deleted scenes, cast interviews, “extended David Byrne music sequence”.
