A group of disparate characters look for understanding and compassion in the midst of a lonely holiday season in this
comedy drama.
Rose (
Susan Sarandon) is a middle-aged divorcée whose mother is in the hospital with an advanced case of Alzheimer's disease; while
Rose wants one more chance to tell her mother that she loves her, the woman doesn't even know who she is anymore.
Mike (
Paul Walker) is a police officer who has become the obsessive focus of an elderly waiter,
Artie (
Alan Arkin), who is convinced
Mike is the reincarnation of his late wife. Meanwhile,
Mike is engaged to marry the beautiful
Nina (
Penélope Cruz), but he's so consumed with jealousy and suspicion that she's not sure if she can go through with the wedding. And
Jules (
Marcus Thomas) is a street hustler who has only one fond memory of Christmas -- ending up in an emergency room, where the staff was holding a party.
Jules wants to relive the experience, and is even willing to injure himself to do so.
Noel was the first directorial effort from actor and playwright
Chazz Palminteri.
