Box of Moonlight
The oft-told tale of the uptight neurotic redeemed by a carefree nonconformist gets a facelift thanks to director Tom DiCillo and star John Turturro. Turturro plays a burnt-out worker bee who gets a new lease on life courtesy of a free spirit played by Sam Rockwell. The quirky story is fleshed out by a quirkier supporting cast including Catherine Keener and Lisa Blount as the Dupre sisters, Floatie and Purlene.
