Capsule review

In this jumbled drama, Sean Penn morphs into yet another oddball character, this time playing semi-retired rock star Cheyenne, whose wrinkles, addled speech, and slow gait hint at a celebrity who has seen his fair share of the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. When his father dies, Cheyenne heads to the U.S. to take up dad’s favorite pastime: Nazi hunting. Director Paolo Sorrentino is prone to David Lynch-ian forays into the absurd, leaving a bulk of the story’s dramatic tension susceptible to a trip down the subplot rabbit hole. Penn’s comedy-tinged performance is strong, however, as is that of Frances McDormand, who plays Cheyenne’s wife. Rated R. 118 minutes.
