Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point, Dr. Van Horn (Willem Dafoe) writes on a scrap of paper: "Celia - s 'il y a". This pun was based on a similarity between a girl's name and a phrase in French meaning "if there is". It is a direct reference to Samuel Beckett's novel "Murphy" (1938): Celia, lover of an eponymous character, has an uncle, Mr. Willoughby Kelly, who comes up with this piece of bilingual wordplay. Paul Auster has consistently acknowledged Beckett's influence on his own oeuvre.
- GoofsWhen Izzy is at Celia's apartment for the first time and closes the curtains to make it dark, there is a lot of light coming in even with the curtains closed. When they turn the lights off, the room is very dark.
- ConnectionsEdited into American Masters: Gene Kelly: Anatomy of a Dancer (2002)
Featured review
Auster is so awesome
I went to see this movie for free it was premiered only last week, (August 99) in Chile in the artsy flicks circuit. I never thought it was going to be so great, I thought it would be like Smoke but this one is so much better, it is a really magical love story, Izzy makes up this girl while he´s dying but you don´t know if she´s real or if she ever met him, it is really a nice movie. If you want to see good movies at theaters do not come to Chile because you´ll only see blockbuster films, such as 13 Warriors or Titanic.
