Lonesome at Lonesome Jim Premiere

Last night FishbowlNY went solo and attended the premiere of IFC’s Lonesome Jim, directed by Steve Buscemi, one of our absolute favorite Park Slopers. The film stars Casey Affleck (a.k.a The Tolerable One) as a struggling New York writer/dog-walker dealing with the horrifying prospect of moving back in with his suburban family. Boy, have we been there. It’s a heartfelt, slowburning comedy in the vein of Jim Jarmusch (Broken Flowers), rendered with Buscemi’s gentle, oddball touch and keen eye for beautiful monotony.
