The last time many of us saw Ed Norton, he was doing a roast of Bruce Willis on Comedy Central. Photos courtesy of Warner Bros. PicturesMotherless Brooklyn, Norton’s latest art project, one which he wrote for the screen and directed from a Jonathan Lethem novel, doesn’t look like it cost peanuts. Norton plays Lionel Essrog, a private detective with Tourette Syndrome who works for an agency run by Frank Minna (Bruce Willis). The depictions of ’50s Brooklyn are gorgeous snapshots, whether it’s the Brooklyn Bridge at night or carefully reconstructed jazz clubs, hat stores and diners. He’s not only got Tourette’s, he’s OCD, which means he has to repeat certain movements to keep his “crazy brain” functioning.
