A depressive, whose life as an actor in LA is made possible by liberal doses of lithium, returns home for his mother's funeral. Enter Ian Holm as the domineering Dad and Natalie Portman as the epileptic love interest. An instant cult hit, this is a hilarious yet understated film about life, love and the bizarre delights of New Jersey.
