"Lonesome Jim" is a 2005 film, directed by Steve Buscemi, and filmed in the city of Goshen, Indiana. It was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for Drama at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.

ynopsis

The film reflects an existentialist philosophy known as absurdism, and is based on Albert Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus," which is summarized and interpreted by Jim towards the end of the film when he gives a failing girls' basketball team a pep-talk. From this point, Jim raises himself to a level of consciousness that allows him to live a fruitful life, regardless of whether he can win the "game" (succeed/make meaning in life).
