Ever wonder what a story would be like if a retired rock star went on a crazy journey to fulfill his dying father’s wish to find an ex-Nazi war criminal? Well, you can see what all that might look like with “This Must Be the Place,” a unique film starring Sean Penn and Frances McDormand:

“When legendary Goth rocker Cheyenne (Two-time Academy Award® winner Sean Penn), long-retired in Dublin with his firefighter wife, Jane (Academy Award® winner Frances McDormand), learns his estranged father is dying, the childlike recluse travels to New York to seek reconciliation – only to arrive too late. Upon discovering his father’s unfulfilled quest for revenge against an ex-Nazi war criminal taking refuge in America, Cheyenne embarks upon his own journey of reawakening in this engaging and unpredictable road adventure from internationally acclaimed director Paolo Sorrentino.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE received the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, where it was also nominated for a Palm d’Or Cannes. It made it’s US debut at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.”
