Synopsis
American artist Tom Warshaw lives a bohemian existence in Paris, trying to make sense of his troubled adult life by reflecting on his extraordinary childhood.
Prompted by his son's thirteenth birthday, Tom experiences a flashback to Greenwich Village in 1973 when he himself was 13 years old. While his bereaved single mother mourns the recent death of his father, Tommy escapes grief by causing trouble at school and making afternoon deliveries with his best friend Pappass, a middle-aged mentally challenged janitor.
Tommy befriends Lady, a woman incarcerated in the New York Women's House of Detention. Tommy experiences his first taste of love. When Tommy's mother dies by overdosing on sedatives, Lady helps him to realize that he should leave New York to live life anew. Pappass helps Tommy purchase a plane ticket to Paris.
Thirty years later, Tommy returns to Greenwich Village to confront his unfinished past.
Cast
At the time of filming, David Duchovny and Tea Leoni were married in real life.
Reception
Critical response
Template:Rotten Tomatoes prose Template:MC film
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film one and a half out of four stars and wrote, "Yes, I take notes during the movies. I can't always read them, but I persist in hoping that I can. During a movie like House of D, I jot down words I think might be useful in the review. Peering now at my 3×5 cards, I read sappy, inane, cornball, shameless and, my favorite, doofusoid. I sigh. The film has not even inspired interesting adjectives, except for the one I made up myself."[2]
