About Schmidt
2002, 120 minutes, Rated M
In his finest drawn characterisation of his career, Jack Nicholson is Warren Schmidt, a man at the crossroads of life. Retired, restless and wondering 'who is this old woman who shares my bed'; Schmidt's life has been one of passive acceptance and repressed rage. But two major events force Schmidt to wake up for the first time. So he takes to the road in a 35-foot Winebago to try and save his estranged daughter from marrying a loser. But what he really embarks on is a journey of discovery, a darkly funny and painful odyssey...and what he finds ain't pretty. From Alexander Payne, the award winning Writer/Director of 'Election', this is a blisteringly funny you profoundly moving film that is impossible to pigeonhold and impossible to forget.
