Thirty years after retiring from the music business and moving to Ireland, Cheyenne still hasn't shaken off the marks of rock'n'roll. His black hair is wild, his eyes are lined with make-up, and he speaks quietly and anxiously. When he learns that his father is dying, he crosses the ocean by boat, because of his fear of flying, and arrives in New York for the funeral. There he discovers that his father was a Holocaust survivor who spent his whole life seeking revenge on the Nazi who tormented him in the concentration camp, and a new journey begins for him. Sorrentino's first (and only) English-language film displays all his strengths. Here too he observes a flawed man trying to shape the world his own way, and here too he bombards the senses with a cinematic style that boldly blends the grave and the wild. The bonus is a towering, persona-breaking performance by Sean Penn that goes straight to the heart. The result is "extraordinary, funny and touching" (Variety).
