The Strange Sounds of Jim Jarmusch films


Let’s take it back a step, for the uninitiated. What’s the deal with Jim Jarmusch? When I told My Wife the Famous Doctor that Jim Jarmusch was a feature auteur of this year’s Philadelphia Film Festival, she rolled her eyes so prolifically that the ceiling sprung a leak and the rabbits started barking (that’s fine though, she has plenty of other virtues). The works that span Jim Jarmusch’s 35+ years of filmmaking are not so much a taste that one acquires, rather a sensory experience that one is either attune to or not. Long (or short) boring movies in which nothing happens that are, to a certain set, completely hypnotic. Movies set entirely in taxis, in diners or jail cells, often devoid of conflict or romance or drama. Theater experiences that see half the audience depart shaking their head and the other half eagerly searching out other witness who saw what they saw. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/uniquely-bizarre-sound-jim-jarmusch/
