What a great film and how original! It is funny and sad at the same time. It looks at art and forces you to ask some serious questions. At the center of the film is family and what family is about and how your life can be determined by your childhood even if it doesn't have to be. Great performances from everyone, especially Christoper Walken who never fails to steal every scene he's in. But, and this is a big but, the entire plot turns on a coincidence that is so contrived it sticks out and screams. I won't spoil your fun and say any more, but this is the only downside in an otherwise marvelous film, but it is a major flaw.
