I'm a huge Frisell fan, so naturally I bought the soundtrack... Let me just say that it has moments and it has fluff... The U2 song is typical, Some of the more atmostpheric pieces are delightful... Would I buy it again? Only if it were used...

It's not that bad, but the whole sotry for the movie was stolen by Bono from
Nabokov's "The Real Life of Sebastian Knight". It's about a man, who is
trying to recreate the life of his dead brother - Sebastian Knight - an
unknown writer. One of Knight's novel was about a pension, occupied by a
crowd of weird residents (not the band though!), the story starts with a
suicide of one of the residents. Investigation is performed by a akward
policeman, who is constantly in trouble. He soon find out, that all
residents are related to each other... etc, etc, just see the movie and you
will know Nabokov's story. But for Nabokov, this story was an example of
bad, modern, thriller type of literature. Bono's "genuine" story is just a
bit different from the original, the difference is usually subject of all
complaints about the movie. Recommended reading though.
