I love everything about this movie.
I've seen virtually all of Sorrentino's other stuff. I think I'm one of the few who adores "This Must Be the Place" and his early films like "One Man Up" and "The Consequences of Love" deftly establish his style and tempo beautifully.

Yeah, that’s a really enjoyable movie. I haven’t seen any of his other works, but will try to find them. Thanks!
