Everything is Illuminated

I just finished reading Extremely loud and incredibly close and then a friend proposed to watch this movie. With Elijah Wood (how can he be free willy and frodo at the same time and still act someone else?) playing JOnathan Safran Foe, the actual writer of the book, or is het a pseudoniem? anyways. good movie, nice acting, nice shot material, aesthetically well, sometimes hard to follow, but that can also be becasue we were discussing too much.
