A composer (and founder of The Lounge Lizards) and veteran of several film roles (including most of Jarmusch's works), Lurie created this inspired, wacky and subtle semi-parody of fishing shows seemingly for no one but himself--- yet it is nearly impossible not to be sucked into their irresistible pull. Fishing for with Jarmusch off Long Island, in Costa Rica with Dillon, with Waits in Jamaica, on the ice in Maine with Defoe and in Thailand with Hopper, even though he doesn't know how to fish, Lurie's offbeat sense of humor--- paired with some beautiful locations--- strikes a rare chord, placing these one-of-a-kind shows somewhere between comedy and travelogue.
