This extremely bizarre new clip has arrived online along with a bunch of new images (via EveryEye.it) from Paolo Sorrentino’s (Il Divo, The Consequences of Love) upcoming drama ‘This Must Be The Place.’ The film follows Sean Penn’s character, a bored, retired rock star who sets out to find his father’s executioner, an ex-Nazi war criminal who is a refugee in the U.S – sounds intriguing! The film co-stars Frances McDormand, Harry Dean Stanton, Kerry Condon and Judd Hirsch.

Cheyenne, a wealthy former rock star (Penn), now bored and jaded in his retirement embarks on a quest to find his father’s persecutor, an ex-Nazi war criminal now hiding out in the U.S. Learning his father is close to death, he travels to New York in the hope of being reconciled with him during his final hours, only to arrive too late. Having been estranged for over 30 years, it is only now in death that he learns the true extent of his father’s humiliation in Auschwitz at the hands of former SS Officer Aloise Muller – an event he is determined to avenge. So begins a life-altering journey across the heartland of America to track down and confront his father’s nemesis. As his quest unfolds, Cheyenne is reawkened by the people he encounters and his journey is transformed into one of reconciliation and self discovery. As his date with destiny arrives and he tracks down Muller, Cheyenne must finally decide if it is redemption he seek.
