My Blueberry Nights is directed by Wong Kar-Wai with an international cast that include Norah Jones, Jude Law and Natalie Portman which follows the recent breakup of Elizabeth (Norah Jones) who is struggling to cope with the loss.

As lost souls are sometimes considered magnets, she eventually befriends a cafe owner in New York called Jeremy (Jude Law) who also has a story of loss and both spend late nights talking and eating blueberry pies.

Elizabeth however craves more and begins her own personal soul searching as she makes her way across the country, waitressing to earn an income. Each of the towns that she visits, she becomes entwined with other "lost individuals" that include an alcoholic police officer (David Strathairn) and his estranged wife (Rachel Weisz) that eventually leads her to the addicted gambler who is played the talented and gorgeous Natalie Portman.

Each of the actors within My Blueberry Nights gives their own interpretation of the characters they play and the sadness that shimmers around them and in turn creates a gripping tale that at times is quite depressing and realistic in its unique approach.

The cinematography of My Blue Berry Nights really lends itself to the story as all the vibrant colours of the locations are brought to life with a rawness of emotions and uniqueness that only the American countryside can portray.

Definitely one for those who enjoy realistic drama movies!
