This Must Be The Place review
Sean Penn stars as a 50-something Goth in director Paolo Sorrentino’s English language film, This Must Be The Place. Here’s Michael’s review... First up, heres a musical fact. This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) by The Talking Heads is the best song ever written. Maybe its the synth bassline and brittle guitar part, circling around each other in an endless loop. Or maybe its David Byrnes yelping, meandering vocals, bleating non-sequitur-laden platitudes. Whatever it is, whether youre listening to the lazy groove of the studio version, from their 1983 breakthrough album Speaking In Tongues, or gawping at Byrne dancing with a lamp in the concert movie Stop Making Sense, theres something utterly beguiling about that tune.

Review: THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
For some people This Must Be The Place is going to be the new Sean Penn flick, for others it will be the new Paolo Sorrentino film. The difference may seem futile, but based on this simple distinction you might say that roughly one group is going to appreciate the film for what it is, while the other group will end up being bored to death.
