Last week Jim Jarmusch's The Limits of Control came out on DVD. I loved it, and was completely baffled by the weird, negative response to it. Baffled, and a little depressed. Has Jarmusch really changed so much that his existential road trips don't work anymore? Or is it that we have grown far too lazy to enjoy them? Twenty-five years ago, Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise -- another existential road...
i don't know if it is a penchant for black and white films as the gorgeous 'last tango in paris' is a personal fave but of recent movies, i really love 'ed wood' (for me this is recent) and another little charmer, 2003's 'coffee and cigarettes.' this quirky project is made up of hilarious vignettes starring unusual/famous faces. director jim jarmusch won me totally. of all the great performances (i...
Text by Brendan Seibel "I think I can have a new look (at) him, not as a mythological figure 'underground', 'punk'," says young Parisian director Léa Rinaldi, discussing her new feature length documentary Behind Jim Jarmusch with VINGT PARIS. "I...
If you saw Fernando Eimbcke’s dryly amusing “Duck Season”, then you know what to expect: leisurely pacing, naturalism on steroids and performances so understated they border on the comatose. Set in a seedy beach town on the Yucatan peninsula, this outing again features young Diego Cantano as Juan, who has just rammed his mom’s car into a telephone pole, and his meandering efforts...
"Basically, I think there's no difference between music and science, “ told Tel Aviv’s Haaretz in 2006. “The musician puts together different sounds in order to create something interesting; the chemist combines different chemicals in order to create something interesting. The success of both is determined by the proportions within the structure that they create. In music it's...
From Pitchfork: TV, a mashed up semi-cover by the "super group" Jim Jarmusch, Bob Mould, Bradford Cox & No Age of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer".And this vid is rather tough to figure out what's going on. But if you stick with it, this is basically some hotel room rehearsals for ATP (All Tomorrow's Parties). Fast forward to about 4:30 to cut to the chase. Thanks Kyle Ellison!More...
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows.

New Spy DVDs Out This Week: The Limits Of Control That's right, after an embarrassment of riches these past few weeks, there is only one new spy title to speak of hitting DVD shelves this week. And it's a pretty offbeat spy title. Jim Jarmusch's existential might-be-spy deconstruction The Limits of Control starring Casino Royale 's Isaac de Bankolé as a mysterious operative or assassin or something...
Recommended THE MOVIE: " You don't speak Spanish, right? " There is a metafictional scene in the first act of The Limits of Control where Tilda Swinton, decked out as a 1960s blonde cowgirl of some kind, seemingly lays out the entire thesis of Jim Jarmusch's movie for the writer/director. She is talking to Isaach De Bankol , telling him about the kinds of movies she loves. She mentions the...
