Read the book. Didn't like it. Don't like Jude Law OR Nicole Kidman. Too much like Ken & Barbie. (don't like Tom Cruise either, but think I will make the effort to see The Last Samurai.)

Do own, and love, the Songs from the Mountain CD by Tim O'Brien & others.

Who would I have cast? Matthew McConaughey as Inman, Cate Blanchett or Winona Ryder as Ada, Juliette Lewis as Ruby.

My advice to everyone is to read The Black Flower instead. A far superior book, and more worthy of a movie IMHO.
