Directed by: Emir Kusturica
Cast: Johnny Depp, Jerry Lewis, Faye Dunaway, Lili Taylor, Vincent Gallo, Paulina Porizkova, Michael J. Pollard
An Innuit hunter races his sled home with a fresh-caught halibut. This fish pervades the entire film, in real and
imaginary form. Meanwhile, Axel tags fish in New York as a naturalist's gofer. He's happy there, but a messenger
arrives to bring him to Arizona for his uncle's wedding. It's a ruse to get Axel into the family business. In Arizona,
Axel meets two odd women: vivacious, needy, and plagued by neuroses and familial discord. He gets romantically involved
with one, while the other, rich but depressed, plays accordion tunes to a gaggle of pet turtles.
